Seattle will be up against the Steelers without star running back Marshawn Lynch, but that shouldn't hold the Seahawks offense back. That's because his replacement, Thomas Rawls, has resembled one of football's best backs. Last week Rawls ran all over the 49ers, piling up 209 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries. In four games with 15 or more carries, Rawls has eclipsed 100 yards three times. Seattle will need him in top form against the sixth-ranked run defense in the NFL.
Mike Tomlin May Not Know What He's Doing
"He's done very well and been consistent," Seahawks coach Pete Carrol said of Rawls. Whenever he's been given a real good shot, he's come through in a big way."
Pittsburgh's strength is their passing game, and they might have an easier time against Seattle's once-vaunted "Legion of Boom" than the Seahawks will have running against the Steelers. CB Richard Sherman can still shut down opposing No. 1 receivers, but the No. 2 options have been able to get good work done with Byron Maxwell gone, and the Seahawks struggling to replace him.
Marshawn Lynch Is One Of Fantasy's Gigantic Busts
If Carroll decides to move Sherman around to keep him on Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant may be able to put together a big afternoon.
