Chris Carson not the running back responsible for his fumble
It’s the middle of the third quarter and the Seattle Seahawks have forced the Denver Broncos to punt, giving them the ball back at their own 26, down 17-10. The first down play is a run by Tre Madden, gaining seven yards. The next play goes to Chris Carson, who seemingly picks up the first down — and potentially was going to have a huge gain, if not for the fact that Von Miller was there.
Miller was not only there, he surprised Carson from behind, got both hands on the ball, and easily ripped it out for his second forced fumble of the day. This one he also “recovered,” but really he just absorbed the ball, and potentially a piece of Carson’s soul too.
