As Russell Wilson has always done, and as he will probably continue to do for many years to come, he once again has shut people the hell up.
On this night, featuring some of the most dazzling quarterback play of the season, Wilson outdid Patrick Mahomes—went throw for throw, run for run, score for score with the quarterback we're all so eager to anoint the MVP...and won.
In a career of many splendid moments, this was one of his finest. In one fell swoop, he stared down a rising star, beat a Super Bowl contender, and vaulted into the MVP race.
