The Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers will do battle on Sunday Night Football this week in a much anticipated NFC matchup. “Nobody has as many run styles as they do because of the quarterback and what he adds”, says Seahawks coach Pete Carroll.

In addition to Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Bennett, starting center Justin Britt (expected) and three-time All-Pro safety Earl Thomas (less so) returned and were full go during the indoor workout. However, this is an offensive line that’s missing it’s best player and has two people playing out of position with no options behind them who were on the team last week. While a loss would not be desirable, the 7-3-1 Seahawks would survive.
The Seahawks (7-3-1) are coming off a puzzling 14-5 loss at Tampa Bay.
“I think it’s got a little bit to do with it”.
“We didn’t lose this game because of a tie”, Newton said. If they give it to us, we’re going to take it. Opponents are averaging 28.4 run attempts per game against Seattle.
The Panthers need this game a lot more than the Seahawks do, but Seattle is just better.
PANTHERS Olsen had 7-131-1 receiving in Week 6 win over Seattle last season and 6-77-1 in playoff win over Seattle last season.
“I guess karma gets you”, Sherman said Wednesday. “The whole job is to get that guy on the ground”.
Russell Wilson was 26 of 36 for 277 yards and a 1-yard scoring pass to Jimmy Graham in the fourth quarter.
The two outspoken superstars will clash Sunday night in Seattle for the fifth time (including playoffs) in the last three seasons.
“You can’t really tell where people are. We were both trying to make a play”, Chancellor said. It would be the only highlight for Carolina. However Wilson did lead the team with 80 yards on 8 carries while Thomas Rawls came up somewhat ineffective after putting up just 38 yards on 12 carries.
Steven Hauschka sealed Seattle’s dominant 23-7 first half with a 37-yard field goal and a 31-yard field goal.
With their offensive line issues and Seattle’s incredible rush defense, I don’t see Carolina establishing any sort of run game with their running backs. Anderson rolled out to throw a pass to Mike Tolbert.
Newton finished 14 of 32 for 182 yards.
“The health of this football team is very frustrating”, Rivera said. Finally, five of those most recent six meetings between these teams have been decided by seven points or less.
If the playoffs started today Seattle would be the two seed in the NFC.
The former N.C. State quarterback was hobbled early this season while dealing with knee, ankle and pectoral injuries.
Backup linebacker David Mayo also had to enter the in-game concussion protocol. But emotions – good and bad – are a huge part of his game and his persona.
On the first play of the Panthers’ resulting series, though, Jonathan Stewart fumbled.

And throughout, the Seahawks executed at a much-higher level in averaging a season-high 7.5 yards per play – nearly double the 4.0 of last week.
