Can Seahawks Plan To Again Celebrate 'Fun' Run Game In Raiders Meeting?

The Seattle Seahawks' 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals at Lumen Field won't win any awards for aesthetics, but Mike Macdonald's team got the desired result.

And perhaps the best thing to come out of the win was the form of Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price.

With the pair sidelined for large chunks of the season, it was their second game back, and we saw what they can provide to Brian Fleury's offense.

Charbonnet posted 77 yards from 16 carries (4.8 yards per run), and Price managed 24 yards from nine carries but also had 54 receiving yards on four receptions.

But it was the manner in which the pair played that caught the attention.

Both are brutal forces of nature, with Charbonnet making his name as a red zone beast last season (12 TDs), while Price's running style was something a lot of draft experts talked about prior to the draft.

And on Sunday, quarterback Drew Lock got a front-row seat to the pair as they brutalized the Cardinals.

"Watching Zach and JD run sometimes, they were fighting through contact," Lock said. "First guy wasn't tackling them. The line was making great holes. Tight ends. I mean, it was classic run game from Zach and JD, along with our offensive line just playing their butts off, man. It was so fun."

With the Seahawks now posting 100+ rushing yards in three of their last four games, the template for Fleury has emerged.

As each game goes by, the thought is that Charbonnet and Price will form a formidable duo and force the defense to stop the Seahawks' rushing attack.

And in doing so, it will leave Jaxon Smith-Njigba one-on-one, which is nightmare fuel for a defense.

And now maybe it can be "fun'' again this week against the Raiders.

While it has been a slow burn for the run game in 2026, we are slowly starting to see what this Seahawks' offense can be when both Charbonnet and Price are on the field. Not only as runners, but in Price's case, as a receiver.

And it gives Seattle another lever to pull in games instead of having to rely on No. 11 in the passing game each week.

Yes, the sample size is small, but it's hard not to get a little excited about what this "fun" Seahawks rushing attack could become later in the season.
