Chris Carson has been a hero for the Seahawks since he stepped onto the practice field. His bruising style and his sheer determination have garnered him millions of fans. Unfortunately, there’s another aspect to his game that will start to cost him some of those same fans. In today’s game at Pittsburgh, he saw Rashaad Penny take a larger share of the load than ever before. If he doesn’t secure the ball better, he may wind up being the second option in Seattle.
Carson had another solid day, this time going against the Steelers. Pittsburgh throttled the Patriots Sony Michel last week, holding him to just 14 yards on 15 carries.
