Russell Wilson’s 5 TDs lead Seattle Seahawks past Baltimore Ravens, 35

“He did break his ankle, but I think the torn ligaments are really the problem”, Carroll said.

Sunday’s Seattle Seahawks vs Baltimore Ravens game has all the makings of a blowout, though the quarterback swap could throw a wrench into Seattle’s plans. The running game wasn’t the same without him, with recently acquired DuJuan Harris and veteran Fred Jackson filling in and combining for 57 yards on 25 carries – Rawls had 44 on six carries before he was injured.

Baltimore, missing lead back and former Seahawk Justin Forsett (broken arm), gained only 28 yards on 14 runs.

Baldwin has become Russell Wilson’s go-to-guy and has caught eight touchdowns in his last three games, a feat only surpassed by Art Powell back in 1963 (who had nine in a three-game span). Baldwin caught six of those passes for 82 yards and three scores, his second three-touchdown game in the past three weeks.

However, starting running back Jonathan Stewart (89 total yards, TD) and tight end Greg Olsen (3 catches, 52 yards) didn’t play much in the second half because of minor injuries and the fact that the game was already well in hand. Granted, Baltimore is far from the number one offense in the league, but putting the clamps on the Ravens sends yet another good signal about how Seattle’s “D” is playing in recent weeks (Beat Minnesota 38-7 a week ago). Clausen had a decent performance, completing 23 of 40 pass attempts for 274 yards, but most of his offensive possessions were shortened by untimely penalties, turnovers or dropped passes.

Asked if he’s surprised by those numbers, Wilson said, “I’m not surprised”. We’ll see where he is, he’s got a chance to get back. “We’re going to miss him, but I thought everybody collectively played a great game”. Allen ranked second behind “Jeremy Butler” on the Ravens in targets on a day where Jimmy Clausen played quarterback. “We’ll see. We’ll evaluate it going forward”.

Fullback Derrick Coleman can also be used at tailback – he had a 19-yard run late in the fourth quarter. Although Baltimore appears a lock to endure its first losing season since 2007, Harbaugh hopes the crowd at M&T Bank Stadium will show its support for a team that hasn’t quit playing hard.

Seattle took a 7-0 lead on its opening drive when Wilson hit Lockett in the middle of the end zone for an 8-yard score.

Coach Pete Carroll admitted he felt for Rawls, who was picked up as a free agent in May and went on to rush for 786 yards with an impressive average of 5.6 yards per carry.

Russell Wilson’s line the last four games has been better than any quarterback in the NFL.

– Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon injured his right ankle early and left in the third quarter with a right knee injury.

FLASHBACK: The last time Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman played against Schaub, he was a difference maker.

Later, Wilson would find Doug Baldwin single-covered by Wright, and the subsequent deep corner route turned into a touchdown.

Clausen had some somewhat surprising success early, given that he had thrown for just 63 yards against the Seahawks in September while with the Bears. The Seahawks are riding a wave of confidence and also have a favorable schedule coming up with the next three opponents sporting a combined 10-26 record. Safety Kam Chancellor left the game with a tailbone injury, which couldn’t have helped the secondary’s cause.
