Mike Preston Grades The Ravens 35-6 Loss To The Seahawks
Coming off a series of explosive performances after he assumed the Ravens’ lead running back role, rookie Buck Allen and the Ravens running game were stymied Sunday, and Allen’s second-quarter fumble was a turning point in the game.
Harris was forced into extended duty after Thomas Rawls broke his ankle in the first quarter, ending his season.
“Thomas has had a fantastic rookie season”, Russell Wilson after a TD” coach Pete Carroll said. Harris’ job should be secure until running back Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) returns.
Before training with the Seahawks, Brown played two seasons under the Philadelphia Eagles and one year with the Buffalo Bills, per ESPN stats.
Wilson threw five touchdown passes, three to Doug Baldwin, and Seattle wore down the injury-depleted Baltimore Ravens 35-6 Sunday for its fourth straight victory. After holding Adrian Peterson to just 18 yards on eight carries last week, the Baltimore Ravens managed just 28 total rushing yards on the ground.
He was signed by the Seahawks in October when Rawls suffered a calf injury, and he was on the 53-man roster for the Dallas and Arizona games but was not active on game day. We’ll see where he is, he’s got a chance to get back.
Leading 14-6 at the half, the Seahawks got the game’s next score, as Wilson and Baldwin connected from 22 yards to culminate another 11-play, 80-yard drive. “He’s got to get past that, whatever impact that has had and then he’s got to get back into football shape and get going”, Carroll said.
Baltimore closes out this harrowing season with three games against teams in the playoff hunt, starting this week with the Kansas City Chiefs. Rawls’ left leg appeared to get caught under him on a 2nd and goal rush to the right, however. It’ll have been, we’re at three weeks from his surgery (this week), I think, and he hasn’t been able to go yet very hard. “We’ll see how Marshawn does, he was back in rehabbing with us”.
The Seattle Seahawks road ahead looks promising. Davis signed last week and saw significant playing time on special teams against Baltimore. We rally with one another, we believe in one another, we believe the next guy is gonna make the play.
Carroll said safety Kam Chancellor is “pretty sore” after bruising his tailbone Sunday, and said it’s unlikely he’ll practice Wednesday. Carroll says the team still does not know when the bruising tailback will be back on the field. “Obviously, everything doesn’t happen initially as you would like it. And we just keep at it. Keep on maintaining, pushing, chopping wood and we understand that it will eventually come through for us”.
That will be the question going forward until Lynch returns whether that balance can remain with journeymen running backs filling in.
