The Seattle Seahawks continue their Monday Night Football dominance throughout their franchise history and are now 10-2 and in first place in the NFC West. With the 37-30 win, they also continue their perfect record in December in prime time under Pete Carroll. Alistair Corp of Field Gulls joins the show to talk about the pair of Seahawks running backs who helped lead Seattle to victory and into second place in the NFC playoff picture.
Chris Carson carried 23 times and had one catch for a total of 109 yards and a touchdown, while Rashaad Penny combined for 15 carries and four catches for 107 yards and two scores. Russell Wilson delivered two passes for touchdowns on the night, one to Penny and one as a 60-yard deep ball to David Moore.
Looking ahead to next weekend's matchup between the New Orleans Saints and the San Francisco 49ers means that Seattle could get help in one of two ways. A Saints win could help Seattle in securing an NFC West title or a win by the 49ers could help either team toward earning the top seed in the NFC. If both teams keep winning, that could lead to a Week 17 game that could mean the difference between home field advantage throughout the playoffs vs a fifth seed and starting the playoffs on the road.
