The rest of the NFL is recognizing how vital—and brilliant—Chris Carson has been for the Seahawks.
The league announced Thursday Carson is the NFC’s offensive player of its most important month, December.
Carson gained almost half his 1,151 yards for the season in December. The lead back had 516 yards with five touchdowns in the month. He had consecutive games of 119 yards against San Francisco, 116 in a playoff-clinching win over Kansas City and 122 last weekend in the win over Arizona in the regular-season finale.
Those were half the six 100-yard rushing games he had in the regular season.
