After two big road wins at Minnesota and Baltimore, the Seahawks return to CenturyLink Field on Sunday to take on the 3-10 Cleveland Browns.

Here are our storylines to keep an eye on as the Hawks look to move to 9-5 on the season, solidify their grip on the No. 5 seed in the NFC and possibly stay alive in the race for the NFC West title.

But this week, all eyes will be on Seattle's depleted backfield as the Seahawks try to offset the absences of Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) and rookie sensation Thomas Rawls, who broke his ankle against Baltimore last week. Seattle's running back corps now consists of Bryce Brown (who has already been cut and re-signed three times this season) and former castoff Christine Michael, who was traded earlier this season after never living up to his billing as a second-round draft pick. Fullback Derrick Coleman will also compete for carries leading up to this Sunday's game.With Lynch's timetable for a comeback still ambiguous, whether or not the trio of Brown, Michael and Coleman can keep the running game afloat is certainly the subject of the most intrigue for Seattle coming into Week 15.
