After a dismal dashing efficiency towards the New York Giants in Week 5, Mike Macdonald and the Seahawks teaching employees made it a degree of emphasis that the Hawks wanted to run the ball extra typically. Thus, it got here as no shock to anybody within the first half when Seattle repeatedly gave the ball to Ken Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
