Russell Wilson threw four touchdowns on Sunday and in many ways

12th Fan Color Rush Jersey , he wasn’t even the star of the show. That likely falls on the incredibly broad, manly shoulders of linebacker Bobby Wagner, who had a sack, an interception, a touchdown, and ripped the ball out for a fumble that was both forced and recovered in a single moment, but Wilson continued his own season of notably efficient play.He completed just 11 passes, but 36% of those went for a touchdown, another gained 45 yards, another gained 27 yards, another gained 21 yards on 2nd-and-21 (thanks Richard Sherman), and an uncounted attempt went for 43 yards on a pass interference penalty. The end result was another multi-touchdown day for Wilson and even against a defense as bad as the one had by the San Francisco 49ers, his season is becoming as noteworthy as any other he’s ever had.After Sunday, Wilson is 217-of-326, 2,716 yards, 29 touchdowns, five interceptions Tyler Lockett Color Rush Jersey , 8.33 yards per attempt. He’s set to post career-highs in touchdowns (39), yards per attempt, and passer rating, while only throwing it about 27 times per game. In a season when quarterbacks are shattering records for completion percentage and Patrick Mahomes is virtually a lock to go over 50 touchdowns, Wilson is doing it his own way while still keeping pace with some of those prolific scorers in the league.This is the type of offense that Pete Carroll envisioned when he took over the Seattle Seahawks in 2010, when he hired Darrell Bevell in 2011, and when he (or more accurately, John Schneider) drafted Wilson in 2012. This is what they were closing in on at times from 2012-2017, but this is undoubtedly the kind of result that Carroll’s been hoping for: a heavy and effective rushing attack mixed in with high-percentage explosive throws downfield that result in scores or close to it.Credit Carroll.

The Seahawks still have myriad issues on defense that could keep them from advancing deep in the playoffs, but offensively, Wilson is enjoying an unreal season from a scoring and efficiency standpoint, even if it gets him nowhere near an MVP award.His 11 games with at least two touchdowns is second in the NFL behind only Philip Rivers, who has done so 12 out of 12 times.He’s the only QB in the NFL to not have a game with a passer rating below 85.His TD% of 8.9 would be the fifth-best ever. Since Week 3, he’s thrown 24 touchdowns and only two interceptions.At home this season, he has 13 touchdowns and one interception, with three more home games left to go.In next week’s big game against the Minnesota Vikings, he’ll be at home and he’ll be playing on Monday night; Wilson has the best passer rating in Monday Night Football history on a minimum of 150 career attempts.He’s got the third-best road passer rating in the NFL this season, behind Mahomes and Rivers.His 63 touchdowns since the start of 2017 is the most in the league Frank Clark Color Rush Jersey , seven more than any other player.Since coming into the league in 2012, Wilson has thrown 58 touchdowns in December, six more than any other player. He’s got the highest December passer rating in NFL history.Against the NFC this season, Wilson has 21 touchdowns and one interception. Against the NFC West, he has 10 TD and 0 INT.And here’s the other weird thing about Wilson’s season: it’s the first of his career without Bevell. In adjusting to new coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, and essentially giving up the designed runs he’d been used to over the first six years of his career, Wilson had to accept and face the risk of maybe not being as effective as he used to be. It was uncharted territory for Wilson, at least dating back to the time he transferred from NC State to Wisconsin and had to accept that even if his situation was seemingly better it was also different. We usually can’t predict that “different” is going to be “better.”In this case, it seems to be.Wilson won’t win the MVP award. The Seahawks are guaranteed no better than a wild card berth and voters don’t take kind to quarterbacks who throw it fewer than 500 times, but we, the fans, will take it. If he throws it 450 times and scores 40 times, I think we’ll be perfectly pleased with that.Awards are overrated. Wilson is not. ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP)When you play for the Detroit Lions, you can be from Canada and still be considered local.Luke Willson, a tight end who signed with the Lions two months ago after five seasons with Seattle, is from Windsor, Ontario Dion Jordan Color Rush Jersey , right across the Detroit River from the Motor City. He grew up a Lions fan, although that’s not his only motivation to play well after returning to the area.”I was a big Barry Sanders guy. When I was a kid, it was kind of like the Herman Moore, Barry Sanders,” Willson said this week. ”I was a youngster, but I’ve always kind of, you know, liked the Lions growing up. But that being said I think it’s important for me to establish a divide. Yeah it was my childhood team, but I’m here to do a job.”It’s been a fairly quiet offseason for the Lions where free agency is concerned, but Willson was an interesting pickup, especially after Detroit cut ties with tight end Eric Ebron. A former first-round draft pick, Ebron became a target for Lions fans for dropping passes, but he did provide production that Detroit needs to replace. He caught 186 passes over the past four years, including 53 for 574 yards and four touchdowns last season.In five seasons with Seattle, the 6-foot-5 Willson never had more than 22 catches, but the Seahawks have had other tight ends to throw to like Jimmy Graham and Zach Miller, so Willson may be capable of more.”I really try to pride myself on being able to do whatever they ask,” Willson said. ”You know Tedric Thompson Color Rush Jersey , my first year we had Zach Miller, I was more the down-the-seam tight end, and Zach got hurt and you know, I had to quickly learn to be more the hand-down type guy. I think that’s kind of benefited me in my career because I feel comfortable doing whatever they ask me to do.”Willson said at this stage of the offseason, it’s too early to tell what exactly his role will be with the Lions.”I’m here to do whatever the coaches ask me and right now, you know with all the CBA rules, it’s personally just about getting better each day,” he said. ”A lot of individual stuff for me that I can get better and just showing the coaches what I can do, and then from there they’ll decide what role I’ll be playing this year.”Despite the proximity to the U.S., Willson said the quality of high school football where he grew up wasn’t great. He played on a summer team he likened to AAU basketball. He ended up playing college football at Rice, and he was drafted by the Seahawks in the fifth round in 2013.He has carved out a decent NFL career for himself since then, and now he has a chance to come back and play close to home – although it sounds like he’ll be living on the Detroit side of the river now.”Got to shield myself from those Canadian taxes, man,” he said. ”Come on, now. Can’t be doing that. Can’t be doing that.”—
