The “Let Russ Cook” campaign is sizzling.
Russell Wilson overcame an early setback to torch the New England Patriots for 5 touchdown passes to lead the Seattle Seahawks to a 35-30 victory at CenturyLink Field on Sunday night.
No, one interception does not make a game. Wilson’s second pass of the game was intercepted by Devin McCourty and returned 43 yards for a touchdown. But Wilson bounced back in a huge way to keep the Seahawks perfect (2-0) and continue his torrid start to the season.
Wilson threw for 288 passing yards with two of his TDs – 54 yards to DK Metcalf and 38 yards to David Moore – demonstrating his prowess as the NFL’s premier deep-ball thrower.
