Russell Wilson heaved the ball high into the Washington sky, high enough that if you were somehow riding it, you might catch a glimpse of Mount Rainier in the distance. Everyone watching knew how this was going to end. The ball was going to drop to earth like a shuttle on re-entry, and DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett was going to snare it, and the Seattle Seahawks were going to win another weird, bizarre game in their ongoing litany of them.
Not this time. The pass hit the turf, the game ended with Seattle on the wrong end of a 17-12 score, and at least as surprising as the fact that Wilson lost, was the team that victimized him: the New York Football Giants.
