The Seattle Seahawks find themselves in an early fight with playoff implications. Like Seattle, the Detroit Lions are 3-3 after a weak 0-2 start. This is a good matchup for the Hawks for several reasons.
First, the Seahawks feature a strong running game. In their three losses, Detroit was gashed for an average of 181 yards. In their wins, their opponents averaged just 98 yards on the ground. That’s a piece of cake for Seattle, as they’ve averaged 172 yards rushing over the last three games.
The three-headed ground attack of Chris Carson, Mike Davis, and Rashaad Penny guarantee there will always be a fresh pair of legs hitting the hole.
