They are not the Seattle Russell Wilsons.
The MVP candidate might be the Seahawks' best player, and he's certainly their most famous employee. But in Seattle's 37-30 Monday Night Football victory over the Minnesota Vikings, the Seahawks declared to a national audience that they're a top-tier contender for plenty of reasons—only one of which is the fact Wilson is a superstar in his prime.
Seattle overcame an all-time flukey Minnesota touchdown in order to beat the Vikings despite the fact banged-up No. 1 wide receiver Tyler Lockett was held without a catch. It was a reminder that the team is experienced, well-coached, resilient and mentally strong, which is scary considering they now lead the NFC West and are on track for a first-round bye in the playoffs.
