Rumbling again, Thomas Rawls leads Seattle past Detroit 26-6
SEATTLE — The formula that has led the Seattle Seahawks to unmatched success over the past five seasons returned.
A healthy dose of Thomas Rawls rumbling on the ground. A few timely throws by Russell Wilson helped by some remarkable catches. And a defence that never allowed Detroit a sniff of the end zone.
“This felt like old times. This felt great,” Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman said.
Rawls rushed for a franchise playoff-record 161 yards, Paul Richardson made one of the catches of the year for his first career post-season touchdown, and the Seahawks beat the Lions 26-6 on Saturday night in an NFC wild-card game.
