Bryce Brown: Brown and Hunter could be options for Seattle

QB Russell Wilson passed for 292 yards and five touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, with three more touchdowns to Doug Baldwin and two to Tyler Lockett. He's thrown for 1,171 yards, completed 75.4 percent of his throws, thrown 16 touchdowns and had zero interceptions.

"Thomas has had a fantastic rookie season for us", Carroll said.

Seattle's offensive line did not prevent a sack and gave the quarterback plenty of time to survey the field.

Smith was waived after that game and snatched up by the Dallas Cowboys as the Hawks were trying to move him back to their practice squad, Lynch has now missed as many games as he's played this year, and Rawls is out for the season after breaking his ankle against the Ravens Sunday.

"To come out here on the road in a tough environment and win feels great", Wilson said. "I don't think he's going to have to have an operation at all from what I understand". The running game wasn't the same without him, with recently acquired DuJuan Harris and veteran Fred Jackson filling in and combining for 57 yards on 25 carries - Rawls had 44 on six carries before he was injured.

Rawls has been one of the finds of the season, having come from obscurity to take over as Seattle's lead back in the absence of injured Marshawn Lynch.

Head coach Pete Carroll called the injury "substantial" and said that the ligament damage was more of a concern than the broken ankle.

Wilson showed once again that he can win on the road and is not rattled by fumbles from his running backs or dropped passes by his receivers.

If Seattle were able to split carries between Rice and Brown and use Jackson as they have been in third down and passing downs, it could go a long way in the Seahawks minimizing the loss of missing two strong options at running back.

The chances of Russell Wilson supplanting Carolina's Cam Newton for Most Valuable Player honors in the NFL this season seem slim, but no one in the league has played better than the Seattle Seahawks quarterback over the past four weeks.

Seattle's second-ranked defense backed Wilson by keeping the Ravens out of the end zone, forcing two turnovers and allowing only 28 yards rushing. The two-time defending NFC champions lost five of nine and were in the periphery of the NFC's Wild Card race mostly because the conference is plagued by mediocrity. After going 9-for-17 for 63 yards as the Bears starter, Clausen finished 23-for-40 for yards with an interception on Sunday.

Finally, Mike gave the special teams a grade of C+ and the coaching staff a grade of C+ saying "despite being heavy underdogs, coach John Harbaugh had the Ravens in the game until midway through the third quarter". "Let's see how good you can get, how well you can play for the next three weeks of the season". With four straight wins under their belt, the quarterback thrived against the Baltimore Ravens and could repeat the performance against the Cleveland Browns. It was the Ravens' first game this year decided by more than eight points, and their most lopsided defeat since a 41-7 loss to New England on December 22, 2013. "I'm not happy about it; disappointed", Harbaugh said.

They Hawks also topped 400 yards in total offense four times in those six games.

He also tried to go after Richard Sherman, who picked off Clausen to set up Wilson's final touchdown pass to Baldwin midway in the fourth quarter. "He has to get past that, then get into shape".
