PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks
Statline: 452 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT passing, 30 rush yards
I don't even know where to start with how good Russ's performance was this week. Wilson had an INSANE INSANE game and he deserves player of the week. With a tough match-up against the Texans on tap, Wilson had a very good game that helped the Seahawks to their monster 41-38 win over the Texans. Wilson made EVERY throw. Well not actually but thats how it seemed. 452 yards is a lot and most of those balls were deep beauties falling right into the hands of either Paul Richardson (6 rec, 105 yards, 2 TDs), Tyler Lockett (6 rec, 121 yards), or Jimmy Graham (4 rec, 39 yards, 2 TDs). And minus Wilson's 30 rush yards, the Hawks would only have 1 rush yard. ONE! That is NOTHING and embarrassing. Also with the Hawks bad o-line, Wilson kept having to run around the pocket but he delivered every through. He spun out of tackles, run for big games, and made beautiful throws. Then Wilson threw what seemed to be the game ending pick right near the end to keep the Texans at a 38-34 lead. Then the Hawks got the ball back and under HUGE pressure with 21 seconds left Wilson strung up a series of beautiful pass plays first to Paul Richardson then a big 20 yard TD pass right to Jimmy Graham to win the game. Under pressure against a great opponent, Wilson had a game to remember. Wilson has won player of the week on my blog!TEAM OF THE WEEK: Seattle Seahawks (5-2)
Final Score: Seahawks 41, Texans 38
Don't call me bias but the Seahawks are easily my team of the week. Even though the Seahawks happen to be my favorite team, if I wasn't a Hawks fan I genuinely would have picked the Seahawks and Russell Wilson as my team and player of the week. You know I can't be bias because I have the blog where I have to talk about every team fairly. But the Seahawks had a hell of a win. We already know that Russell Wilson had a great game so I don't even have to touch on that because I already explained how well he did. The Seahawks receivers played so well. Week after week Paul Richardson is really starting to look like a viable WR2/3 for the Seahawks who they can rely on every deep throw. The guy makes every catch. Tyler Lockett had an insane game. 120 receiving yards on only 6 catches. Despite trade rumors, Jimmy Graham had a heckuva game. Doug Baldwin's stats don't quite show it but he makes every catch when the Hawks need it. The Seahawks O-line also held up pretty well and they should be SO excited because they just aqquired elite O-lineman Duane Brown right before the trade deadline. He will help. Now lets talk about the Hawks D. While they ended up letting up a lot of points, they also had an insanely good showing. Richard Sherman was tested and got beat a few times but ended up with 2 huge interceptions. One that sealed the game and one that helped. Earl Thomas did get beat by Will Fuller like once but answered with a HUGE pick 6. New signing DE Dwight Freeney even made moves. He had a sack and could have had a forced fumble if the dumb ref didn't accidentally touch the ball. The Seahawks run game minus Russell Wilson only had 1 yard which is unbelievably embarrassing and will need to be worked on but the Hawks entire team played SUPER well and it won them team of the week honors on my blog.
