running game finally woke up against the Carolina Panthers (+4), with their running backs rushing for 150 yards on 29 carries (5.17 YPA). It was an extremely strong performance, but made even more impressive when you factor in the fact they were missing their starting tackles as well as right guard Phil Haynes. This is a Seattle team that despite having fantastic talent on the outside with the likes of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, is built to run the football. As a result, a performance like this was extremely encouraging and hopefully a sign of good things to come.
