Seattle Seahawks sophomore running back Zach Charbonnet entered Sunday’s Week 13 contest versus the New York Jets having scored five touchdowns this season, second-most among all Seahawks skill players. Charbonnet has been extremely useful to Ryan Grubb’s offense this campaign. He made another big-time impact in the come-from-behind victory over the Jets.
The Seahawks once trailed 14-0. Entering the fourth quarter down 21-16, a Jason Myers field goal narrowed the Jets’ advantage to 21-19. On the next possession, Grubb’s offense put together a 12-play drive that started with a Charbonnet run. A horse collar tackle later extended the drive, and Charbonnet concluded Seattle’s comeback efforts with an eight-yard TD run.
Charbonnet’s game-winning TD was featured on Brian Baldinger’s social-media-famous “Baldy’s Breakdowns.”

Charbonnet has now rushed for 266 yards and five touchdowns via 75 carries this campaign. He’s been a useful resource behind No. 1 running back Kenneth Walker III. Charbonnet has also added 29 receptions for 204 yards and one additional touchdown to his offensive totals.
Charbonnet earned just four carries versus the Jets, but he averaged 7.0 yards per carry, his second-best average output of the season. Walker was his typical workhorse self, but struggled to consistently find running room, gaining 49 yards on 16 carries (3.1 YPC). Charbonnet will continue maximizing his opportunities.
