3 studs and 2 duds in Seahawks wild-card win over Eagles

Who stood out in Seattle’s first playoff win in over two years – here are the duds and studs from Seahawks wild-card victory over Eagles.

No. 1 dud – The rushing game

The Seahawks offensive identity is rooted firmly in their ability to run the ball well, which they failed at spectacularly on Sunday against the Eagles.

As a team, the Seahawks ran the ball 26 times for only 64 yards. However, it’s actually somehow much worse than the stats would indicate. Russell Wilson – more on him later – accounted for 45 of those 64 rushing yards.

Take away Wilson’s contributions on the ground, and the Seahawks are left with 12 yards on 11 carries from Travis Homer and seven yards on six carries from Marshawn Lynch. Yikes.

If there is a silver lining, Marshawn Lynch did score Seattle’s first touchdown of the day, and his first postseason touchdown since Super Bowl XLIX.
