3. The CJ Prosise coming out party

With the offensive line finally learning how to run block, the stage was set for a rookie CJ Prosise to have a big game. His natural quickness was obvious throughout the game, and he ran with a surprising power that wasn’t expected.

Prosise finished with 17 carries for 66 yards. He also had a TD that for some reason wasn’t awarded.

Also on display was the receiving skills that the Seahawks drafted him for. Seattle thought he’d be a weapon in the passing game out of the backfield, and it is clear they were correct.

Those 7 catches for 87 yards were huge for the Seahawks, and allowed them to put drives together that stalled in previous weeks.

C.J. Prosise was Seattle's leading receiver and rusher. Had 153 total yards (87 receiving, 66 rushing). Not bad for a first start.
