There was no secret to the Seattle Seahawks' game plan coming into Cleveland: They were going to feed Chris Carson and the running game against the Browns. With Cleveland being one of the worst teams defending the run and Seattle being one of the run heaviest offenses in the league, the Browns knew what was coming and couldn't stop it.
Seattle fed Carson 24 times as he went for 124 yards on the ground with a score in addition to four receptions for 35 yards through the air. His 124 rushing yards was a career-high for the third-year back who is off to the best start of his career.
Career-high 124 yards for Chris Carson, on 24 runs. Third straight 100-yard day since he sought the help of his mental-conditioning man. #Seahawks https://t.co/y7OYeqROuo

It is safe to say that Chris Carson has locked up Seattle's starting running back slot with C.J. Prosise and Rashaad Penny due to see some snaps but nowhere near the amount Carson will get. Sunday also marked Carson's third straight 100-yard game as the running back will look to continue his streak against a tougher Baltimore defense.
His 5.2 yards per carry was impressive but the Baltimore run defense ranks in the top 10 in the league. I don't expect that to discourage Seattle from executing their offensive system when hosting the Ravens next week.
If Chris Carson can continue his impressive streak, the Seahawks will be an even more dangerous team already having an MVP candidate in Russell Wilson under center and a defense that can hold their own most days.
