Russell Wilson may not have gotten any votes for MVP, continuing a somewhat astonishing streak of never having received a vote in his eight years in the NFL.
But Wilson was regarded as the most valuable player this year by one statistical metric — the Wins Above Average calculation by Pro Football Focus.
According to PFF, Wilson was worth four more wins this season than the average NFL quarterback (technically, 4.08).
Next on the list was Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs, at 2.96.
So take that literally, and it means that because of Wilson Seattle was 11-5 this season instead of the 7-9 it would have been with an average NFL quarterback (let alone what it might have been like with a really bad one).
