RENTON, Wash. (AP) — With Russell Wilson playing like the midseason MVP, the Seattle Seahawks are sitting in the middle of the NFC playoff race and potentially in the mix for a division title.
But there is only so much Wilson can do, and if Seattle isn't able to fix its defensive woes, a schedule that is about to get significantly more difficult may eventually expose the Seahawks.
"I think he's the best quarterback in the game, so whenever you have him out there on the field anything can happen," Seattle running back Chris Carson said.
Wilson was brilliant again on Sunday, throwing for five touchdowns in Seattle's 40-34 win over Tampa Bay as the Seahawks improved to 7-2.
