EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Russell Wilson might have had a sore right ankle and left knee Sunday.
But his right arm was just fine.
And that was about all the Seahawks really needed Sunday to beat the New York Jets 27-17 at MetLife Stadium and improve to 3-1.
After a sluggish start, Wilson and the Seahawks offense caught fire in the second quarter against a New York defense that some boast as having one of the best lines in the NFL.
Wilson, playing with a sprained MCL suffered last week that required a noticeable brace on his left knee, completed 23 of 32 passes for 309 yards and three touchdowns, more than enough to overwhelm a Jets offense that did little most of the game, with Seattle’s defense capping the day with three interceptions in the fourth quarter.
