Russell Wilson vs Cam Newton, Part VII: By the numbers

Three days before the Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers faced off on Sunday night, I took a look at the history of Russell Wilson and Cam Newton and their statistical performances when they play against each other's respective defenses. Let’s take a look back and see how they performed against the historical trend and what I was projecting.

Here’s Russell’s final stat line:

Wilson was much more efficient, completing 72% of his passes compared to 63% and 68% historically. He only had 10 incompletions out of his 36 attempts, and at least four were throwaways, with having three straight throwaways in the red zone with goal to go.
