Carolina running back Jonathan Stewart, a former Timberline High School standout, ran for 106 yards and averaged 5.6 yards per carry. On the first play of the game, he gashed the Seahawks for 59 yards, the longest run the Seahawks have allowed this season.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In Sunday’s 31-24 playoff loss to the Panthers, the Seahawks allowed a 100-yard rusher for the first time since last season.
That’s an impressive streak spanning 26 games, but the Seahawks were done in by one an old nemesis: a patient running back, and in the case of the Panthers, a patient quarterback.
