4. More Russell Wilson adjectives

Not only was Russell Wilson brilliant in the little-under three quarters that he played, but he set a number of records in the process.

Wilson now owns the team record for touchdowns (34), passing yards (4024) and QB rating (110.1). In fact, Wilson will end the season as the NFL’s highest rated passer this season.

It is difficult to describe just how good Wilson has been. He’s put together this record-breaking year behind an abysmal offensive line. He’s also been without Jimmy Graham, Marshawn Lynch, Thomas Rawls, Paul Richardson, etc.

The “game manager” label hasn’t be an accurate label for Wilson since his rookie year. Hopefully this season will finally kill that narrative forever.
