Seahawks vs Jets: 5 takeaways from Seattle’s impressive road win
By Keith Myers
2. Russell Wilson cannot be stopped.
Wilson has a sprained right ankle and a sprained left knee. His mobility is shot. Any other QB wouldn’t even be out there playing. The Jets wish that Wilson hadn’t been out there.
Wilson was on fire in this game. He completed 23 passes for 309 yards and 3 touchdowns. That’s a 133.5 pass rating, in case you were wondering.
Wilson finished the 1st half with 191 passing yards, two touchdowns and a perfect 158.3 passer rating. That was just the beginning.
While his success rate slowly slightly in the second half, he was still amazing. The Seahawks continued to dominate through the air.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about this performance was that his injuries forced him to stay in the pocket. The narrative says that is how you stop Wilson, but in this case it actually made him a better QB.
Without the ability to use his athleticism to extend plays, Wilson was forced to get the ball out quickly. When Wilson does that He is completely unstoppable.
