SEATTLE The Seahawks’ play run has begun.
And we do mean RUN.
Thomas Rawls picked a decent time to re-join the Seahawks season -- with it on the line.
Set back by three injuries in 12-plus months, Rawls romped for a season-high 15** Seahawks’ playoff-record 1** yards -- more than even the great Marshawn Lynch ever did in all his wondrous, postseason romps. That, Seattle’s in-their-face defense and multiple dropped passes and personal fouls by the Lions sent the Seahawks to a 26*-6* victory Saturday night in the NFC wild-card playoffs at roaring CenturyLink Field.
Rawls’ 4-yard touchdown run and a mind-boggling catch by Paul Richardson with one hand from behind an interfering defender’s back on fourth down in the first half were all the Seahawks (11-5-1*).
