Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls suffers season-ending broken ankle

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, center, throws to a receiver during an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens, Sunday, Dec. 13, 2015, in Baltimore.

Thomas Rawls broke his ankle and is done for the year. They stumbled out of the gates to a 4-5 record through the first nine games, lost star running back Marshawn Lynch for six games and counting due to a sports hernia and hamstring issues, frustrated newly-acquired tight end Jimmy Graham by failing to find a consistent role for him in their offense (before Graham was shelved for the season upon suffering a torn patellar tendon in Week 12), and witnessed a sizable regression from the once-untouchable Legion of Boom.

The Seahawks are fighting their way back into the playoffs with a sad outcome that could derail their offensive game.

Wilson completed 23 of 32 pass attempts for 292 yards and five touchdown passes; Baldwin caught three of the touchdown passes and finished with six catches for 82 receiving yards.

Brown has 1,004 career yards rushing after two full seasons with the Eagles in 2012 and ’13 behind LeSean McCoy and seven games past year with current Seahawks runner Fred Jackson in Buffalo. That’s a weird class. Rookie receiver Tyler Lockett is also becoming a premier option, both as a speed threat down the sideline and as a reliable pass-catcher on intermediate routes.

“We feel good about it”, Sherman said about the defense. “And the offensive line is giving me enough time to make those decisions and get the ball out on time”.

Seattle Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls will miss the rest of the season after suffering a broken ankle and ligament damage during Seattle’s 35-6 win over the Baltimore Ravens Sunday.

Rawls was pulled back by a gang of Ravens tacklers in a 3-yard loss.

“He went through a big surgery, and has a lot to get through”, he said.

And he went one step further calling for the media’s heads, “Let’s call all those people who wrote us off – and call for their jobs”.

The Seahawks also hope for a speedy return from veteran Marshawn Lynch, who missed the past four games after having abdominal surgery. If the Seahawks stay in their current fifth seed, they will face the NFC East victor, which at the moment is Washington, but Philadelphia and the New York Giants are still close. His fumble on Sunday hurts his stock right now, but he can still get some yards for this Seahawks team that is showcasing an efficient passing game.

The Baltimore secondary, beleaguered by big plays all season long, had seemingly turned things around during the season’s third quarter, allowing just four plays of 25 or more yards after yielding 22 during the season’s first half. “We’re happy to get him back”.

The loss assured Baltimore of its first losing season since Harbaugh took over in 2008.

Megatron’s worst game of the season came at the worst possible time for his fantasy owners.

“Obviously a very tough outcome”.

Seattle took the lead for good with a touchdown on its opening possession, moving 80 yards on a drive capped by Wilson’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Lockett. Wide receiver Doug Baldwin had three touchdown receptions.

The Ravens responded through a field goal from Justin Tucker from 28 yards after a series of promising runs from Javorius Allen.

Seattle made it 21-6 by moving 80 yards following the second-half kickoff. Carroll told 710 ESPN Seattle, “It’s a matter of getting back into shape”.

Pete Carroll said he got up on the locker post-game “in a single bound”.
