Okay here is the surprise of the night, Eddie Lacy. I think he played…yes, in fact I did see his name on a jersey, on the field. He totaled 34 rushing yards for a 2.8 average per carry. I read many articles this year touting him as the man. “Watch out for Eddie Lacy, he is going to take the league by storm,” apparently a storm with all the punch of an afternoon shower.
In fact, he wasn’t even the leading rusher for the Packers, that honor went to Starks. And the most troubling fact for Lacy? He left with a potential concussion. Sorry fantasy owners, Lacy just cost you a bunch of points at the hands of the Seahawks defense.
On Seattle’s side of the ball Lynch ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns. He looks aggressive and ready to run over the league. Can you say “Taste the rainbow?”
