Seahawks balance between pass and run game

Pete Carroll wasn’t happy with the way the Seahawks offense had overall played in the past 2 games. He wanted the Seahawk’s traditional run game to get going.

Against the Cardinals, the Seahawks rushed for fantastic 165 yards. Running back Carlos Hyde returned after missing a few games, and rushed for 79 yards. He averaged a solid 5.6 yards per carry. Wilson also ran for 40+ yards.

As for the passing game, Russell Wilson made better decisions today compared to his last 3 games. He threw 2 touchdown passes, no interceptions and completed 23/28 of his passes.

Russell Wilson, Seahawks take back the throne of the NFC WEST
