“[He] just exemplifies what we’re all about: toughness, and hard-nose, and committed, and grit and all that stuff”. “To think that his absence has made us better, that’s not really the case at all”.

Rawls was on-pace for a 1,000-yard season despite starting just seven games through Sunday. That equates to 2.3 yards per carry and his longest run was for 6 yards. Rawls is out for the season with an ankle injury, leaving Harris and Fred Jackson to carry the workload for the time being. No timetable has been given on Lynch’s recovery at this point.
Wilson showed once again that he can win on the road and is not rattled by fumbles from his running backs or dropped passes by his receivers.
Panthers 38, Falcons 0: CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Cam Newton completed 15 of 21 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns, and Carolina (13-0) clinched a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs.
“After Derrick busted out, he’s going to get some shots too”, Carroll said.
Brown, a fourth-year veteran out of Kansas State, had 36 carries for 126 yards last season in seven games with the Buffalo Bills.
“I was really fired up about the way he played”, coach Pete Carroll said.

Condotta believes the Seahawks will let the backs fight it out this week and against Cleveland and see who emerges, but the underlying hope is that Marshawn Lynch returns sooner rather than later from his abdominal surgery.

RENTON, Wash. (AP) – As the Seattle Seahawks continue their roll toward the postseason in part because of record-setting play for Russell Wilson, they keep running into roadblocks. Against the Miami Dolphins, his true first game, Brown would have a 52-yard touchdown stolen from him by the referees. Russell Wilson has now entered the conversation as one of the most deserving candidates to win the MVP award this season, but he will need to finish the season strong to get more national attention. Lynch returned to the Seahawks practice facility last week, but still may be a few weeks away from returning, per Carroll. At the moment there is no timeline on when Lynch is expected to be able to return.
Russell Wilson passed to Tyler Lockett for an 8-yard touchdown. Only Tom Brady (2007), Peyton Manning (2013-14) and Aaron Rodgers (2014) have also had stretches of four straight games with at least three touchdowns and no interceptions.
His five touchdown passes were the most glittering of his many gaudy stats against the Ravens.
When Thomas Rawls went from Unknown Rookie to Rookie Sensation after his breakout 169 yard rushing performance in week #4 against the Bengals, it appeared as if the team had an embarrassment of riches at the running back position.
Brandon Mebane and Athyba Rubin again formed a solid wall in the middle to help hold down the running game.
Another option is to just hang on tight and go with what they have, Harris and Jackson. The five touchdown throws matched a career high set earlier this season against Pittsburgh and gave him 16 over his last four games.
