Can Patriots Exploit Seahawks’ Running Game In Big Sunday Night Game?

Share this: If you want to know why the Seattle Seahawks have had so many ups and downs on offense this season, look no further than their rushing attack. Marshawn Lynch ain’t walking through that door, and the team has averaged 75.4 rushing yards per game so far this season, which is 30th in the NFL.

In 2012, the Houston Texans wore letterman jackets when they traveled to Foxboro, Mass., for a “Monday Night Football” showdown with the New England Patriots, a game they wound up losing 42-14.
