VIDEO: Rashaad Penny Breaks Free for Impressive TD to Extend Seahawks' Lead Against Eagles
By Michael Luciano
THAT'S why the Seattle Seahawks used a first-round pick on Rashaad Penny. The backup running back has turned into Shaun Alexander on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, beating up on an elite run defense for 128 yards, 58 of which came on this touchdown run that gave Seattle a 17-3 lead.
Even with Russell Wilson in the middle of his worst game of the season, Penny and the running game have shown today they can be trusted to grind out wins.
