For his efforts on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has been nominated for the FedEx Ground Player of Week 15.
In the Seahawks win over the Panthers, Carson logged 24 carries for 133 yards and two touchdowns on the day.
“The way Chris ran – I thought Chris ran as well as he’s ever run,” coach Pete Carroll said Monday. “Just consistently attacking with big finishes to his runs, which is really his highlight aspect. The touchdown one on fourth and one. The first touchdown he had, the finish there. Couple short yard shots, too, and all that. Gets us to demonstrate the style that we love to play in. It really accentuates the guys up front doing a good job. That’s really positive.”
Carson now has 270 touches for 1,190 yards on the year, his second consecutive season rushing for over 1000 yards.
