Ahead of the much anticipated matchup tonight, here are a few quick stats comparing the two quarterbacks (thanks to Pro Football Focus)…

Quarterback rating (Takes into account drops, throwaways and spikes): 96.76 vs. 86.94

Notes: Just looking at these numbers, It would appear that Wilson has a clear advantage when it comes to passing in the pocket, and while Cousins is still finding his footing as the Redskin’s starter, his passing number under pressure and in play action are exceptional and should be something the Seahawks defense should be on the lookout for come 5:30 p.m. PST.
