The Seattle Seahawks were left without star running back Marshawn Lynch for much of last week’s game against the Chicago Bears. Thomas Rawls was forced to carry the load, and he did a great job in doing so.
Seahawks fans were left wondering if Rawls’ 16 carry, 104 yard performance a sign of good thing to come or just a flash in the pan?
To answer that question, I examined every run from last Sunday’s game. 16 carries is a fairly small sample, and this clearly wasn’t the toughest competition, but there were some definite trends that were worth examining here.
