RENTON, Wash. (AP) — For a team headed to the playoffs already with 11 victories and still with a shot at the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks are in an unexpected desperation mode.

In the past 15 days, the Seahawks lost their top three running backs and their best offensive lineman to a variety of injuries. The foundation of what Seattle wants to be on offense — predicated by a successful run game — has been decimated. Running backs Chris Carson (hip), Rashaad Penny (knee) and C.J. Prosise (arm) are all done for the year.
