Seahawks Take Control Over Russell Wilson’s Seattle Return

SEATTLE — Russell Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos in the off-season by the only team he had known for the previous decade, having grown disillusioned with his former team’s lack of protection for him, unwillingness to give him say in personnel decisions and widening chasm from its championship days.

In Denver, he regained a measure of control and a defensively sound team thought to be one quarterback away from contending.

Boos rained down on Wilson as he took the field against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night and he very nearly silenced them.
