3. Christine Micheal is legit

We’ve been waiting a long time for this. The awakening for Christine Michael has been a tremendous story this season. All that talent, and now the production that we’ve always wanted to see.

Michael rushed 20 times for 106 yards and 2 touchdowns. Those were his first 2 touchdowns of his career. He might have gotten in again, but Seattle pulled him at the start of the 4th quarter since the game had become a blowout

Michael was simply moving a speed that that faster to everyone else on the field. Give him a little blocking, and he’ll turn it into a big gain.

The Seahawks now have a decision to make when Thomas Rawls is healthy. Rawls was tremendous last season, but he hasn’t been the same this season. He’s earned everyone’s trust, but the Seahawks no longer have a reason to rush him back.

It is hard to believe that Marshawn Lynch would retire and the Seahawks would still have so much amazing talent at running back.
