Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll Celebrates Win over Ravens on Top of Lockers

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (3) celebrates a…

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. Wilson was 23 of 32 for 292 yards, continuing his late-season surge.

Mariota, the Heisman Trophy victor from OR, completed 21 of 39 passes for 274 yards, with no touchdown throws and one interception.

Ravens receiver Jeremy Butler led his team with seven catches for 72 yards.

Rookie running back Thomas Rawls suffered a fractured ankle Sunday and will miss the rest of the season, coach Pete Carroll told the media. Rawls had already gained 47 yards during the Seahawks’ first drive when he was hurt on a 3-yard loss. As WR’s, we will continue to make the most out of our opportunities.

That left the Seahawks with only two healthy running backs on the roster, 34 year old Fred Jackson, and journeyman DuJuan Harris, who’s Marshawn Lynch-like dreadlocks were more interesting than anything he’s done on a football field until this point.

The Seahawks gave up just 28 yards on the ground. As opposing defenses focus more on stopping Beastmode and the read option, we will rely more heavily on Russell Wilson and the passing game. But neither is a viable option in the backfield if the 8-5 Seahawks, who are now clinging to a Wild Card spot, have any hope of defending their NFC Championship this postseason.

Clausen practiced with the Ravens’ first-team offense all week.

Schaub, battling a chest injury, was listed as questionable after sitting out practice this week.

“That’s a great defense we just played”, Clausen said. “I’m not happy about it; disappointed”, coach John Harbaugh said.

“Obviously a very tough outcome. I’m not happy about it; disappointed”, Harbaugh said. “The worst we’ve played all year by far”.

Over the last four, Wilson has thrown for 16 touchdowns and no interceptions. That includes limiting league rushing leader Adrian Peterson to 18 yards the previous weekend.

The receivers had a few drops early – notably, tight end Luke Willson couldn’t control a touchdown pass in the second quarter and Doug Baldwin had an uncharacteristic drop later in the quarter. He played the Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders twice as quarterback for the Broncos and Chiefs.

“He is playing unbelievable”, Baldwin said about Wilson. His passer-rating in the half was 118.1.

The crowd of 71,179 witnessed the Ravens’ second-biggest blowout loss at home, topped only by the 41-7 defeat to New England two seasons ago. The Seahawks beat the Bears 26-0.

The last quarterback to do this was Kyle Orton in 2011.

Meanwhile, the Ravens are third in the AFC North and have a poor record of just 4-8. Pro Bowl safety Kam Chancellor left the game in the first quarter and didn’t return.
