Nothing went as planned for Seahawks running backs in first year of post-Marshawn Lynch era

The first season of life without Marshawn Lynch didn’t quite go as planned for the Seahawks. Thomas Rawls was again injured almost immediately after returning from injury, C.J. Prosise also suffered through a handful of injuries, most notably a broken shoulder blade that as it turned out, ended his season in the 10th game.

And while the team’s leading rusher, Christine Michael, may play in the Super Bowl he won’t do it for Seattle, waived in November and signed by Green Bay.

Ultimately, Seattle had 18 different players (including quarterbacks and receivers) get carries this season, a franchise record and according to NFLResearch the most for any team since the strike season of 1987.
