Seattle Seahawks 23, Philadelphia Eagles 17
1) It was hardly the offensive showing Russell Wilson has treated viewers to in the 2020 campaign. He simmered rather than cooked. He managed more than dazzled. But for the second game in a row he didn’t have an interception and the Seahawks have won each of those games. Wilson’s entertainment value and MVP campaign might be taking a hit, but the aerial circus made for a lot of close games and turnovers. Following the first stanza’s scoreless showing for both squads, Wilson led Seattle on five scoring drives over the last three quarters (two touchdowns, three Jason Myers field goals). As aforementioned, it wasn’t dazzling but it was winning football. Wilson throwing for 230 yards, one touchdown on a beautiful goal line fade and 23-for-31 passing with no interceptions isn’t really all that sexy, but it was efficient. This was also a game in which the Seahawks seemed so close to a blowout throughout, though that never transpired. At this point in the season, we know the Seahawks have a good chance of winning a shootout with Wilson cooking, but over these last two games we’ve arrived at the realization that winning a different way is possible, too.
