In a matter of seconds, a huge loss turned into a 35-yard gain. The Seahawks scored a touchdown three players later, their first points and the only touchdown of the game.
MINNEAPOLIS — Someone handed a phone to Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson at his locker, queued with one of the biggest plays of the game.
In the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 10-9 wild-card victory over the Vikings, Wilson wasn’t ready for a shotgun snap, and the ball sailed nearly 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Wilson slid, fell on the ball, and glanced up. In front of him were five Vikings, but he got to his feet, eluded all five defenders and floated a pass on the run to receiver Tyler Lockett.
