When Russell Wilson was at his best, he had the benefit of playing with the Legion of Boom defenses of the 2010s Seattle Seahawks. They paired that defense with a strong running game powered by Marshawn Lynch, and Wilson was able to flourish without having to carry the entire operation. It has been just a one-game sample size with the Pittsburgh Steelers so far, but he has a similar setup with this team and should be poised to recreate some of that success.
“It’s the Seahawks’ offense,” NFL analyst and senior producer of NFL films Greg Cosell said via the Ross Tucker Football Podcast.
