Russell Wilson and Seahawks’ offense defy conventional wisdom by passing vs. Jets

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Russell Wilson couldn’t run much. Certainly not the way he usually does, something that despite his protestations about how good his knee and ankle felt, he grudgingly had to admit.

The Seattle Seahawks couldn’t run much either.

Certainly not the way they usually have the last few years, when their offense has been working at its best.

But in a surprisingly easy 27-17 win over the New York Jets Sunday, Wilson and the Seahawks showed that the conventional wisdom of what they can do and who they are may be as ill conceived as a Ryan Fitzpatrick pass thrown in the direction of Richard Sherman.
