Russell Wilson continues his bid for Its Most Valuable Player award when the Seattle Seahawks host the Baltimore Ravens Only live on Sky Sports Action and Main Event on Sunday.
There can be no denying Wilson is playing at an MVP level.
Patrick Mahomes appeared to be and could still be – Wilsons biggest competition. But, his injury to his right knee on Thursday Night Football – a blow for the league – has surely entrenched Wilson at the peak of the pile.
There are legitimate arguments to be put forward for Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, but Wilson was arguably streaking forward even before the injury into Mahomes.
Before the Kansas City Chiefs meeting with the Denver Broncos on Thursday night, Wilsons passer rating of 124.7 was already 12.8 points higher than the next best player in Mahomes.
Through six matches so far this year, Wilson has accounted 17 touchdowns – 14 passing and three rushing – and is to throw a single interception.
His typical 284 pass yards per game, 72.5 conclusion percent, nine-yards-per-attempt typical and passer evaluation are all career-high marks.
And these numbers arent a consequence of any scheme that suits any game-managing, Wilson, or even any obstruction .
Quite the contrary. Wilson conveys this Seattle Seahawks team. And he does finishing the most difficult throws so while trying and, more frequently than not.
According to Next Gen Stats, Wilson cries outside the amounts on 59.3 percent of his efforts the maximum rate in the NFL – and he finishes 70.5 per cent of these pitches, a marker most quarterbacks would be satisfied with on simpler curb insecurities. Hes nine of his touchdowns when projecting outside the numbers and also a 121.4 passer rating.
Not only does Wilson excel with an expansive death game, but he is still a risk with his legs.
He might not possess the 460 rushing yards his rival this weekend – Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson – has during this seasons initial six weeks, however, Wilsons 151 is still good for fifth.
Also, long gone are the days that Wilson had to do everything. Its no coincidence that the only time in his eight years at the NFL Wilson has failed to make the drama was in 2017, when he accounted for every single one of the Seahawks offensive touchdowns.
If they could bottle up Wilson teams understood – a task still easier said than – that Seattle did not have anyone. That is not the case for 2019, with his 504 yards and Chris Carson through six games helping to take some of the warmth off Wilson.
Butdespite the fine start to the season of the team, along with Wilson victory, the Seahawks are not getting the attention they deserve, moving unnoticed at the crowded NFC West.
The Los Angeles Rams might be in the middle of a three-game losing streak, but they are still fresh off a Super Bowl run last year, while the San Francisco 49ers have taken out to a 5-0 start – 1 of just two teams in the league still unbeaten, along with the New England Patriots.
Not helping that story is the simple fact that the 49ers and Seahawks have both beaten four of the exact opponents through six weeks of the program – Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Rams and Cleveland Browns – with Seattle only squeezing out a +8 point differential, whereas San Francisco have dismantled the exact same opposition to the song of +69 points.
However, while it is the defense which has shone most over that stretch, its thanks to Wilson the Seahawks edged from the four close experiences and currently sit 5-1.
The win over the Rams in Week Five, in particular, was a statement game, using Wilson projecting for 268 yards and four touchdowns against the NFC champs of the past year. An performance.
Each of these games – because thereve only been [now six] thus much – has much significance, Round the NFLs Chris Wesseling told Sky Sports. And last weeks match for Russell Wilson was the match you look back at the conclusion of the year and say yes, that is when he made his candidacy.
This week, he also even took it over, that was the stuff that MVPs are made of and he is my pick.
The Seahawks are still sitting . The last time they did was 2013, in their approach to winning Super Bowl XLVIII.
They returned to the game year, enduring a reduction to the Patriots on the final play of the match – yes, which Malcolm Butler interception at the goal line.
Since, that Legion of Boom team has slowly been chipped away at over the years, split as gamers have either sought out chances (and cash ) elsewhere or have been forced to.
Wilson, meanwhile, has become the constant, rallying his team into the playoffs in every season apart from the 2017 misnomer, also has been – and – rewarded for his efforts with a brand new $35 million a season contract extension this offseason, which makes him the highest-paid player in the NFL.
Through six games of 2019, it looks money.
Watch all Sundays action live on Sky Sports Action from 5pm on Sunday; Ravens-Seahawks kick-off is at 9.25pm.
