Comes up short in Week 5 loss
Wilson completed 21 of 39 passes for 274 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding four rushes for 22 yards in the Broncos' 12-9 overtime loss to the Colts on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered and was evaluated for a head injury following his first interception before returning without missing an offensive play, per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com.
Analysis: Wilson's final line will show he compiled his second-highest passing yardage total of the season, but the Broncos' inability to score a single touchdown more accurately encapsulates the quality of his performance. After leading Denver to two field goals in the first four possessions, Wilson could only helm one other scoring drive. Additionally, both his interceptions came at particularly costly moments, the first at the Colts' four-yard line early in the fourth quarter and the second coming in…read more

Cleared to play Thursday
Wilson (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: The Broncos listed the quarterback as a limited participant in practices this week, but Wilson's right shoulder issue won't prevent him from starting Thursday's contest. While Denver's offense took a hit in Week 4 when running back Javonte Williams suffered a season-ending knee injury, Melvin Gordon provides the team with an experienced lead back to handle rushing duties in the weeks ahead, with Mike Boone and Latavius Murray also on hand in the backfield. Meanwhile, none of Wilson's top…read more

Remains limited Tuesday
Wilson (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at Tuesday's practice, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: For the second day in a row, "Mr. Unlimited" found himself on the Week 5 injury report as a limited participant, though this time the Broncos actually got on the field for a walk-through session after Monday's practice was merely an estimated one. Wilson is tending to some soreness in his throwing shoulder in the aftermath of Sunday's loss to the Raiders, but head coach Nathaniel Hackett said he doesn't believe the quarterback is in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Colts, per Aric…read more

Limited on practice estimate
Coach Nathaniel Hackett relayed that Wilson (right shoulder) would have been limited Monday, if the Broncos had practiced, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Hackett, Wilson "got dinged up a little bit" during Sunday's loss to the Raiders, with Tom Pelissero of NFL Network indicating that the QB is dealing with some shoulder soreness. Either way, Hackett told DiLalla that he expects Wilson to play Thursday night against the Colts.

Creates three TDs in Sunday's loss
Wilson completed 17 of 25 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Raiders. He added 29 rushing yards and a TD on four carries.
Analysis: He was pretty much the whole show for the Broncos, as Wilson led the club in rushing yards and none of his receivers managed more than 55. The performance was still a step forward for the quarterback, who tossed multiple TDs for the first time with Denver as he hit Courtland Sutton for a five-yard score in the first quarter and Jerry Jeudy for a 20-yard strike just before halftime. Wilson will look to build on this effort in Week 5 against the Colts.

Clutch finish to ugly game
Wilson completed 20 of 33 pass attempts for 184 yards and no touchdowns while adding 17 yards on six carries in Sunday's 11-10 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Wilson struggled against San Francisco's fierce pass rush all night, even hearing a chorus of boos from the home crowd following multiple consecutive three-and-out drives. The veteran QB seems to be trying a game-manager role with his new club, and the results have not been pretty through three games. It wasn't until Denver's final drive of the game that Wilson took it upon himself to use his legs to escape pressure like he did in his prime in Seattle and will his team to victory. Perhaps the…read more

Underwhelming performance in win
Wilson completed 14 of 31 passes for 219 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding two rushes for three yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Coming off a loss to his former team in Week 1, many expected Wilson and the Broncos to have a huge resurgence against the Texans on Sunday. Unfortunately, that wasn't in the cards, as the offense is still trying to find its footing under the tutelage of head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Wilson focused on Courtland Sutton throughout the contest, targeting the wideout a team-high 11 times. Jerry Jeudy exited the game with a rib injury, complicating matters for the veteran signal-caller with KJ…read more

Takes loss in Denver debut
Wilson completed 29 of 42 passes for 340 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for two yards in Monday's 17-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Wilson's first three passes of the game all went to fullback/tight end Andrew Beck, and he completed two of them for 52 yards to set up a field goal on Seattle's first drive. His first throw to a wide receiver didn't come until there were less than six minutes left in the second quarter, but he made up for a lack of quantity with quality, as that pass was a 67-yard touchdown to Jerry Jeudy. Denver had no trouble moving the ball but two fumbles by running backs inside the five-yard line and poor…read more

Agrees to five-year extension
Wilson and the Broncos agreed to terms Thursday on a five-year, $245 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Wilson's extension includes $165 million in guarantees and makes him the highest-played player in Denver's franchise history before taking a regular-season snap with the team. As noted by Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, Wilson's $42.9 million per season salary links him to the Broncos for the next seven years and makes him the seventh highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. The timing of the deal provides both sides with the stability of a long-term commitment leading up to Week 1 of the 2022…read more

Won't play in preseason games
Broncos offensive coordinator Justin Outten said Wilson won't play in any preseason games ahead of his Week 1 matchup with the Seahawks, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Wilson starts his tenure in Denver with a visit to his old home, facing the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. It remains to be seen if Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy can approximate what Wilson had in Seattle with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, but the Broncos are stronger than the Seahawks at most positions, with no gap wider than the one at quarterback. The 33-year-old Wilson competed at least 64.8 percent of his passes for 7.5 YPA or better in each of his final four seasons with Seattle,…read more

Wilson isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports
Analysis: Wilson's first game action as a Bronco will have to wait until Saturday, Aug. 20 in Buffalo, at the earliest. In Wilson's stead, Josh Johnson will direct Denver's offense first, with Brett Rypien taking the field at some point after him.

May not play Saturday
Wilson won't play much, if at all, in Saturday's preseason game against Dallas, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Analysis: Wilson might get a few more snaps than other top QBs this preseason, considering he and coach Nathaniel Hackett both are new to Denver. Still, it probably won't amount to much more than a few series, and perhaps in the second/third week of the preseason rather than Saturday.

Continues to impress
Wilson continues to prove himself as a leader and a clear upgrade at the quarterback position, having his best practice of training camp Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: In an end-of-game scenario in practice Thursday, Wilson reminded the Broncos why they made the blockbuster move to acquire the veteran quarterback this offseason. After multiple touchdown drives throughout the practice, Wilson was the one who decided the final plays in crunch time to lead the offense to a win. When discussing play calling in those types of situations, coach Nathaniel Hackett said, "I'm always kind of in his ear, but it's his choice, whatever he's feeling." It's not surprising…read more

Trade to Denver official
The Broncos acquired Wilson from the Seahawks on Wednesday, after the trade the two teams agreed upon last week became official.
Analysis: In one of the landmark transactions of the offseason, Denver finally landed its first big-name quarterback since Peyton Manning retired after winning Super Bowl 50. Wilson will have a bevy of pass catchers at his disposal, moat notably wide receivers Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick, tight end Albert Okwuegbunam and running back Javonte Williams.

Trade moves toward completion
In the wake of the agreed upon deal that is slated to send Wilson from Seattle to Denver, the quarterback waived his no-trade clause and passed his physical with the Broncos on Tuesday night, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: As a result, Tuesday's blockbuster trade in which the Broncos are in line to send QB Drew Lock, TE Noah Fant, DL Shelby Harris, two first-round draft picks, two second-round picks and a 2022 fifth-round selection to the Seahawks in exchange for Wilson and a 2022 fourth-rounder, continues to move toward becoming official once the league's new league year begins March 16.

Trade to Denver in place
A deal is in place to send Wilson and a fourth-round draft pick from the Seahawks to the Broncos in exchange for quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks, two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per Schefter, the blockbuster hinges on Wilson waiving his no-trade clause, an expected outcome. Additionally, the looming transaction can't be finalized until the new league year begins March 16. Adding Wilson to the mix will provide the Broncos offense with a huge lift and significantly bolsters the nucleus of an attack that also includes running back Javonte Williams as well as wideouts Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick and KJ Hamler.

Wants to explore options
Wilson hasn't demanded a trade from the Seahawks, but sources close to the quarterback indicate that he wants to explore other possible options to see if another team can put him in a better position to win another championship, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though Wilson said in one of his final press conferences of the season that he hopes to remain with Seattle in 2022, the quarterback sounds as though he's open to the possibility of being dealt if he can go to a team that has a more promising outlook than the Seahawks, who are coming off a 7-10 season. With that in mind, Wilson looks like he'll be following a script similar to last offseason, when he never formally requested a trade yet still had his agent provide the Seahawks' front office…read more

Still wanted by Seattle
Coach Pete Carroll said Monday he expects Wilson to remain the Seahawks' starting quarterback in the 2022 campaign, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Carroll responded, "[Wilson's] our quarterback," when asked about the standout veteran's future in Seattle. Of course, the Seahawks will have ample time to mull over any personnel decisions during the upcoming offseason, and there's plenty of precedence that says coach's comments in early January shouldn't exactly be considered a guarantee. A serious finger injury caused Wilson to miss three contests during the 2021 campaign, and upon returning he logged a seven-game slump with only an 8:4…read more

Produced four touchdowns
Wilson completed 15 of 26 pass attempts for 238 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while running for five yards and one touchdown against Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: It was a classic Russell Wilson box score: scoring often, including as a dual threat, while dealing with low-usage volume. To produce four touchdowns on 30 snaps isn't a common feat for most players, but with Wilson it's an old story by now. It's not clear whether that story will continue in Seattle, nor whether Seattle will keep the same coaching staff if Wilson does return. The veteran quarterback's situation is one to monitor in the offseason.

Throws four touchdowns
Wilson completed 20 of 29 pass attempts for 236 yards and four touchdowns while running for 24 yards on six carries against Detroit on Sunday.
Analysis: The Detroit defense is one of the weakest in the league, and this game proved to be a good setting for Wilson to reestablish some rapport with DK Metcalf (six catches for 63 yards and three touchdowns on nine targets). Wilson will need Metcalf to keep producing alongside Tyler Lockett (three catches for 24 yards and one touchdown on three targets Sunday) if the Seahawks offense is to maintain its momentum against a tough Arizona defense in Week 18.

Tosses two TDs in loss
Wilson completed 16 of 27 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears. He added 13 yards on two carries.
Analysis: On a snowy day in Seattle, Wilson mostly took a back seat to Rashaad Penny, but he was able to cap a couple drives with TD passes to DK Metcalf and Gerald Everett, the latter of which gave the Seahawks a 24-14 lead heading into the fourth quarter. However, the defense couldn't make it hold up. Wilson has thrown multiple touchdowns in four of the last five games, but with Seattle now officially eliminated from postseason contention, he has little to play for but personal milestones heading into…read more

Poor showing in defeat
Wilson completed 17 of 31 pass attempts for 156 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Tuesday's 20-10 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Wilson had been looking like his pre-injury self over the last few weeks, averaging 246 passing yards and two touchdowns over his last three games after rushing back too quickly from a broken finger. The 32-year-old reverted to his poor passing form against a tough Rams defense, as evidenced by his third sub-60 percent completion rate game this season with zero total touchdowns in those contests Fantasy managers should probably throw this performance out the window when evaluating Wilson for…read more

Wilson and the Seahawks will no longer play the Rams on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.
Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster.

Tosses two scores in win
Wilson completed 17 of 28 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans. He also ran twice for eight yards.
Analysis: Wilson put together his best game since returning from finger surgery in Week 10, tossing a 55-yard touchdown to Tyler Lockett and a one-yard score to Gerald Everett. We haven't seen many deep shots from Wilson since his injury, so his connection with Lockett demonstrated that the 33-year-old quarterback is as close to 100 percent as he can get. Nevertheless, he'll have a tough matchup against the Rams -- which are fourth in the league with 32 sacks entering their Week 14 Monday night matchup…read more

Sharp in Sunday's win
Wilson completed 30 of 37 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: For the first time in four games since returning from finger surgery, Wilson looked more like himself, and his line would have been even better had Gerald Everett not bobbled a pass at the goal line, turning a sure TD into an INT on Seattle's first drive of the second half. The Seahawks are all but out of the NFC playoff picture at 4-8, but Wilson will likely go down slinging, beginning with a Week 14 tilt against the Texans.

Comeback falls short
Wilson completed 20 of 31 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 17-15 loss to Washington. He also rushed twice for 16 yards.
Analysis: Wilson and Seattle's offense once again struggled to move the ball and produce points. In fact, he led the team in rushing and 94 of his passing yards came on two plays to Tyler Lockett. Besides that, his two leaders in receptions, Gerald Everett and DeeJay Dallas, totaled 64 yards on their 10 combined grabs. Meanwhile, star wideout DK Metcalf's lone, 13-yard catch didn't come until there was just over a minute left. Although Wilson salvaged some value with a touchdown to Everett early and…read more

Wilson completed 14 of 26 pass attempts for 207 yards against Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: Wilson was arguably better than he was against Green Bay in Week 10, but other than a few big throws to Tyler Lockett there just wasn't anything good going on for the Seattle passing game Sunday. The Arizona defense may well go down as one of the best in the NFL this year, so Wilson has that excuse at least, but it still seems like he's not fully himself as he works his way back from his finger injury, which he returned from last week.

Major struggles in return
Wilson (finger) completed 20 of 40 pass attempts for 161 yards and two interceptions and scrambled five times for 32 yards Sunday in the Seahawks' 17-0 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Back after a three-game absence, Wilson was almost certainly limited by the surgically repaired middle finger on his throwing hand, as his return occurred more quickly than the initial injury prognosis considered possible. When fully healthy, Wilson is certainly capable of delivering a better performance, especially against a Green Bay secondary without its best corner in Jaire Alexander (shoulder). Wilson missed throws he usually doesn't, and almost every rep was ugly in some way or another.…read more

Practices without limitations
Head coach Pete Carroll said Wilson (finger) would be considered a full practice participant Wednesday if the Seahawks had to list him on their injury report, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The team doesn't have to list Wilson on the injury report this week because he remains on injured reserve, with his 21-day evaluation window having opened Monday. Regardless, Wilson is gearing up for the start in Sunday's game in Green Bay, after Carroll said earlier this week that the signal-caller will be activated from IR if medically cleared. Wilson's activity level Wednesday suggests the quarterback has made good progress since undergoing surgery on his right middle finger Oct. 7.

Wilson was spotted throwing a football Tuesday, one day after having the pin removed from his injured right middle finger, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Wilson likely isn't yet throwing at full velocity, but his ability to toss the pigskin at all a day following the pin removal suggests he's progressing faster than expected after initially undergoing surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in the finger Oct. 8.

Wilson is expected to have the pins removed from his surgically repaired right middle finger early this week, and the signal-caller continues to target the Seahawks' Week 10 game in Green Bay on Nov. 14 for a return to action, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: When he initially underwent the procedure Oct. 8, Wilson was projected to miss anywhere from 4-to-8 weeks, but the quarterback looks to be honing in on a return at the short end of that timeline.

Analysis: Wilson initially carried a recovery timetable of 4-to-8 weeks after he underwent surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in his middle finger. However, the 32-year-old has a chance to return from injured reserve as early as Week 10, when Seattle plays the Packers on Nov. 14.

Progressing, but timeline unclear
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wilson (finger) is "definitely making progress" since undergoing surgery Oct. 8, but Carroll declined to offer up a timeline for the quarterback's return from injured reserve, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Seattle is unlikely to provide any clear updates on when Wilson might be ready to play until the team is on bye in Week 9. The quarterback won't be eligible to practice until after he sits out a third consecutive game Oct. 31 against the Jaguars. If Wilson is able to practice during the bye week or during Week 10 prep, he could get the green light to play as soon as Nov. 14 in Green Bay. Initial estimates on Wilson's recovery timeline when he underwent the surgery ranged from 4-to-8 weeks, so…read more

Officially on IR
Wilson (finger) was placed on injured reserve Friday, ruling him out through Week 9, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Wilson will first be eligible to return Nov. 14 against the Packers, at which point he'll be a little more than five weeks removed from surgery. Some reports suggested he could be out for as little as four weeks, while others put the timeline around 6-to-8 weeks. Either way, the Seahawks plan to start Geno Smith at quarterback for at least three games. Jake Luton, the team's No. 3 QB, presumably will be called up from the practice squad before Sunday.

Headed for IR soon
Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Wilson (finger) will be placed on injured reserve soon, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Once it becomes official, Wilson won't be eligible to play again until Nov. 14 against the Packers (Week 10). Even that appears optimistic, with most reports suggesting he'll miss at least four weeks and possibly up to eight. While Wilson recovers from Oct. 8 surgery, Geno Smith will serve as Seattle's starting quarterback.

No timetable to return
Wilson has no timeline for a return following surgery Friday on a ruptured tendon in the middle finger of his throwing hand, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Previous reports on Wilson's recovery timetable have wavered from as few as four weeks to as many as eight. An IR stint thus would seem to be in the offing, but coach Pete Carroll said during a media session Monday, "We'll see," when asked if such a transaction would take place. In any case, the Seahawks have a Week 9 bye, so if Wilson is able to make quick progress there seems to be potential for him to return Week 10 at Green Bay. While Wilson is in recovery mode, Seattle will turn to Geno…read more

Could be back in four weeks
The Seahawks and Wilson's doctors have optimism that the quarterback could be ready to play in four weeks in a best-case scenario after he underwent surgery Friday to repair a fractured right middle finger, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Before Wilson checked in for surgery Friday, multiple doctors familiar with his injury believed that the signal-caller could be headed for a 6-to-8-week absence. After the surgery was completed, however, Wilson's outlook appears to have brightened a bit, with a four-week absence now seen as realistic. If that's the case, Wilson could be ready to play as soon as the Seahawks' Week 10 game at Green Bay, but his absence for at least the next three contests will snap his streak of 149 consecutive…read more

Gets surgery, out several weeks
Wilson underwent surgery Friday to repair a ruptured tendon of his right middle finger and is expected to require roughly six weeks of recovery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Wilson opted for surgery less than 24 hours after sustaining the injury in Thursday's loss to the Rams, and the procedure was more complicated than expected, according to Rapoport. The surgery was overseen by Dr. Steven Shin and involved the insertion of screws in Wilson's hand to stabilize the injured finger. The estimated six-week timeline could change as more information becomes available, and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com relays that the Seahawks may be eyeing a looser 4-to-8-week timetable for…read more

Likely out at least a month
The Seahawks are preparing for Wilson (finger) to miss at least one month and possibly 6-to-8 weeks, as the ruptured tendon in his middle finger likely will require surgery, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While X-rays came back negative after his exit from Thursday's loss to the Rams, the 32-year-old quarterback was diagnosed with tendon damage to his right middle finger, creating concern that he'll need surgery and require a long-term absence. That hasn't been confirmed, but the Seahawks and Wilson already seem to be leaning in that direction less than 24 hours after he suffered the injury. Geno Smith is expected to take over as Seattle's starting quarterback.

X-rays negative, heading for MRI
Wilson will undergo an MRI on Friday after initial X-rays on the sprained right middle finger he suffered in Thursday's 26-17 loss to the Rams returned negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: There's concern Wilson is dealing with tendon damage, a condition also known as mallet finger, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. According to Bell, a tendon injury would typically require a splint that "must be worn day and night for 6-to-8 weeks," and could also necessitate surgery. Wilson is set to visit a hand specialist following the MRI, at which point there should be a better idea of his outlook moving forward. For now, the 32-year-old's status for Week 6 and beyond remains…read more

Dealing with finger sprain
Head coach Pete Carroll said Wilson is dealing with a "badly sprained finger" after the quarterback exited Thursday's 26-17 loss to the Rams with the injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Wilson departed early in the fourth quarter after his right middle finger struck a defensive player's helmet while he was following through on a throw. He briefly played through the injury but ultimately had to be replaced by Geno Smith after being unable to grip the ball properly. Carroll declined to give a timeline on Wilson's potential return, though the Seahawks will at least have a long turnaround for their next game, which is set for Oct. 17 in Pittsburgh.

Solid numbers before injury exit
Wilson (finger) completed 11 of 16 passes for 152 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Seahawks' 26-17 loss to the Rams on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for 10 yards before exiting the game for good with 3:36 remaining in the third quarter due to what Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports is being labeled as a "badly sprained finger."
Analysis: Wilson was actually in the midst of a reasonably efficient performance against a defense that has bedeviled him in recent encounters before suffering the gruesome-looking injury on the helmet of a pass rusher. The multi-time Pro Bowler spent the fourth quarter on the sidelines trying to grip a football and watching backup Geno Smith put together a couple of productive drives before a late game-sealing interception.

Analysis: Wilson injured his hand after hitting the helmet of a defensive player following through on a throw in the third quarter. He attempted to play through the issue with his finger wrapped, but he was not able to effectively lead the offense doing so. Geno Smith has taken over as the Seahawks' quarterback.

Three scores but meager yardage
Wilson completed 16-of-23 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns against San Francisco on Sunday, adding four carries for 26 yards and one touchdown.
Analysis: The three touchdowns were a useful reminder that Wilson doesn't need much usage volume to find the end zone regularly, but the Seattle offense sputtered at times Sunday and Wilson's usage remained low for the fourth game in a row. Wilson's efficiency and explosiveness are as high as ever through one month, but the Seahawks are not running many plays, and as a result Wilson is averaging just 27.3 pass attempts and 3.8 carries per game through four weeks. The Seahawks offense will look to pick up…read more

Comes up short in Sunday's loss
Wilson completed 23 of 32 passes for 298 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Vikings. He also carried the ball three times for seven yards.
Analysis: While Wilson once again was efficient and nearly posted his second 300-yard performance in a row, he only got the ball into the end zone once and didn't get enough support from the rest of the Seattle roster. He still has yet to throw an INT this year with a dazzling 73.3 percent completion rate and seven TDs through three games, but the Seahawks have only a 1-2 record to show for it. Wilson faces another tough test Week 4 on the road against the 49ers.

Goes for 343 yards, two TDs
Wilson racked up 343 yards and two touchdowns on 22-for-31 passing and recorded 16 more yards on three carries during Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Wilson backed up his 254-yard, four-touchdown performance from the season opener by stuffing the stat sheet Week 2. However, more than half of his yardage through the air came on three plays -- he had two TDs of 60-plus yards and another 51-yard completion to Tyler Lockett -- and the Titans offense ground and pounded on the back of Derrick Henry in the second half, leading to just six points for the Seahawks between the third and fourth quarters.

Four scores to kick things off
Wilson completed 18 of 23 pass attempts for 254 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Wilson didn't do much on the ground (five carries for nine yards), but he didn't need to after dissecting the Colts' secondary from the pocket. The 32-year-old replicated his four-score performance from Week 1 of the 2020 season, and his fantasy managers are hoping the superstar quarterback can also replicate the 10 touchdowns he rattled off over the following two weeks as well.

Wilson didn't play in the Seahawks' final preseason game Saturday against the Chargers.
Analysis: Wilson was expected to play about a quarter, but head coach Pete Carroll opted to keep the team's most valuable player on the sidelines for the final exhibition matchup. Even without Wilson on the field, we saw a glimpse of new OC Shane Waldron's system, according to Gregg Bell of The News Tribune. Waldron frequently utilized two tight-end sets, and he even got fullback Nick Bellore involved. Of course, we shouldn't draw too many conclusions from a preseason game.

Analysis: RB Chris Carson and a few others likely will be held out, but Wilson is expected to get a little playing time to tune up for his Week 1 road matchup with the Colts. The Seahawks brought back the same nucleus of offensive players, albeit with a few tweaks, hoping new OC Shane Waldron can help Wilson bounce back from a disappointing second half of 2020.

Analysis: GM John Schneider appeared on the pregame radio show and spoke of the great opportunity that backup quarterbacks Alex McGough and Sean Mannion would have in Saturday's contest. That presumably means Wilson will remain sidelined, as he also didn't appear in the team's first preseason contest against the Raiders.

The Seahawks have made solid upgrades on offense this offseason all the same, as they traded for right guard Gabe Jackson to help bolster the offensive line, then signed Everett to a one-year, $6 million deal before selecting Eskridge in the second round of the draft.

Analysis: Wilson has surpassed Deshaun Watson and Carson Wentz as king of the February rumor mill, with multiple reports suggesting the 32-year-old QB is contemplating an NFL future after Seattle. According to The Athletic, Wilson is frustrated with coach Pete Carroll's emphasis on the running game and wishes the Seahawks had made their pass-blocking more of a priority.

Struggles in loss to Rams
Wilson completed 11 of 27 passes for 174 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Saturday's 30-20 wild-card loss to the Rams. He also ran four times for 50 yards.
Analysis: The Seahawks showed increased dysfunction toward the end of the season and specifically against the Rams. This was another prime example, and it was perhaps Wilson's worst game of the season. The 32-year-old quarterback threw a costly pick-six to Darious Williams in the second quarter, completed just 41 percent of his passes, and was sacked five times. Garbage time provided a slight boost to an otherwise putrid stat line, as he added 49 passing yards and a score in addition to 28 rushing yards…read more

Clutch in crunch time
Wilson completed 20 of 36 pass attempts for 181 yards and two touchdowns, adding 29 yards on five rushing attempts in Sunday's 26-23 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Wilson was held in check for the first three quarters of action by a varied defense called by 49ers' defensive coordinator (and popular head coach candidate) Robert Saleh, but "Mr. Unlimited" was finally able to break through with 20 points in the fourth quarter to lead his team to victory.

Accounts for two TDs vs. Rams
Wilson completed 20 of 32 pass attempts for 225 yards and a touchdown while adding nine yards and a touchdown on three carries during Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Wilson was hurried early and often by one of the NFL's top defensive units as he took five sacks and struggled to connect with his pass catchers at times. He managed to avoid turnovers, however, and contributed his second rushing touchdown of the season before throwing a TD pass to Jacob Hollister to put the game away.

Throws for just 121 yards
Wilson completed 18 of 27 passes for 121 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington. He also carried six times for 52 yards.
Analysis: With a banged-up Seattle offensive line up against a fierce Washington pass rush, Wilson struggled to get much going through the air. He finished with just 4.5 yards per passing attempt -- his lowest mark of the year. However, the veteran quarterback was quite effective on the ground, ripping off a 38-yard run in the second quarter.

Analysis: Aside from a first-quarter pick on a bomb into the end zone intended for DK Metcalf, Wilson was unchallenged by an overwhelmed Jets secondary and found four different receivers for scores, matching his TD total from his prior four games combined. Wilson now has a career-high 36 passing touchdowns (and a career-high 12 INTs) on the season, but he'll face a tougher test in Week 15's road matchup with Washington.

Analysis: Wilson led a strong opening drive that led to a field goal, racking up 35 yards on six pass attempts. However, the Seahawks' offense didn't manage to put up points again until midway through the fourth quarter, when Wilson connected with Chris Carson for a 28-yard touchdown.

Analysis: Wilson didn't put up gaudy numbers, but he did enough to lead the Seahawks to victory and did not turn the ball over. The quarterback's lone touchdown came on a one-yard fade pass to David Moore during the second quarter, but Wilson had another one dropped by wideout DK Metcalf in the fourth. Although his scoring pace has slowed since his sensational start, Wilson remains a strong play ahead of Week 13's matchup against the Giants.

Wilson completed 23 of 28 passes for 197 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Seahawks' 28-21 win over the Cardinals on Thursday night. He also rushed 10 times for 42 yards and was charged with two fumbles, including one on a pitchback toss that Carlos Hyde mishandled, but both were recovered by Seattle.
Analysis: Wilson checked in under 200 passing yards for the first time all season, but he turned in a much-needed turnover-free effort devoid of some of the risky throws and questionable decisions that had characterized his play in recent contests.

Wilson completed 22 of 37 passes for 248 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams. He also lost a fumble and added eight carries for 60 yards.
Analysis: The veteran quarterback was never comfortable behind his offensive line, as he was quick to flee the pocket or concede the sack, taking six total sacks for a loss of 28 yards. Wilson appeared increasingly uncomfortable in the fourth quarter when the Seahawks were trying to erase a two-possession deficit, and perhaps the most glaring lapse was a delay of game penalty on third down with 7:59 remaining in regulation.

Analysis: The Seahawks got off to a tough start, as they went three-and-out on the first drive and Wilson tossed an interception on the next series. They started to turn it around after that, as Wilson scored on a rare QB sneak in the second quarter, and the Seahawks added a field goal on their final drive of the first half.

Wilson completed 27 of 40 passes for 315 yards and five touchdowns during Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys. He added 22 rushing yards on six carries.
Analysis: Incredibly, he could have had a sixth TD, but DK Metcalf thought he could coast into the end zone on a 62-yard catch-and-run and had the ball knocked out of his hands from behind, resulting in a touchback. Wilson is now the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least four touchdowns in each of the first three games of a season, and his 14 passing TDs during that stretch also breaks the NFL record of 13 set by Patrick Mahomes two years ago.

The Seahawks were inches from scoring with less than a minute left as the veteran signal caller completed a fourth-down pass to rookie John Ursua that was stopped just short of the goal line. Due to substitution issues following the catch, they took a costly delay of game penalty, pushing them back five yards. On Wilson's last opportunity to clinch…read more

Sets Seattle mark for passing yards
Wilson completed 16 of 31 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Considering the Cardinals entered the contest with the worst-ranked pass defense in the league, it was an uncharacteristically underwhelming performance for Wilson that likely cost some fantasy managers championships. Despite targeting Tyler Lockett eight times, the two connected just once for 12 yards, and Wilson didn't complete more than one pass to any other wide receiver. However, Wilson walks away from this game with his name etched in Seahawks' history, passing Matt Hasselback and…read more

Back on track with win
Wilson completed 20 of 26 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: After throwing an interception in four straight games and rounding out at 7.3 yards per attempt in that stretch, Wilson produced a clean performance against the Panthers, registering 11.0 YPA and completing 76.9 percent of his passes -- his highest marks since Week 5. Wilson rediscovered his chemistry with Tyler Lockett as well, connecting with the wideout eight times for 120 yards and a score, and he spread the ball out to seven other receivers. Fantasy owners should feel comfortable about…read more

Throws for 245 scoreless yards
Wilson completed 22 of 36 passes for 245 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Rams. He also ran five times for 28 yards.
Analysis: The Seahawks were quickly jettisoned from their typical run-heavy scheme after going down 14-3 early in the second quarter, and they couldn't get their passing game going. Wilson fell victim to the Rams' fierce pass rush with five sacks, and his receivers dropped a few costly passes, as the veteran quarterback failed to throw a touchdown for the first time since Week 14 last season. He also threw an interception in garbage time, marking his fourth straight game with a pick. Wilson and the…read more

Captures division lead with MNF win
Wilson completed 21 of 31 passes for 240 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Monday's 37-30 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: If the Seahawks hadn't pulled off the comeback, Wilson may have been haunted by a bizarre pick-six in the second quarter -- his initial pass was swatted back towards him at the line of scrimmage, but his attempt to knock the ball to the ground for an incompletion instead went straight to Vikings linebacker Erik Harris, who took it to the house. However, Wilson bounced back in MVP fashion, leading five straight scoring drives and totaling 27 points in the second half. The Seahawks have won five…read more

Struggles to beat Eagles
Wilson completed 13 of 25 passes for 200 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles. He also ran twice for 16 yards.
Analysis: Wilson's stat line would've looked much better if he connected with a wide-open Jacob Hollister in the end zone and DK Metcalf didn't drop a deep pass at the goal line. The veteran signal-caller faced heavy pressure all afternoon, as he was dropped six times for a loss of 26 yards. It took some trickery to notch his only score of the day, as he found Malik Turner on a flea flicker in the first quarter. Wilson posted a 52 percent completion rate and 8.0 YPA; both marks were his second worst of…read more

Wins second straight OT contest
Wilson completed 24 of 34 passes for 232 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Monday's 27-24 overtime win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Wilson was uncharacteristically inefficient in the first half, as he was sacked on third down twice and completed seven of 11 passes for 73 yards, although he would have added a touchdown if rookie DK Metcalf hadn't had the ball stripped at the goal line right before halftime. The QB came out firing in the third quarter, converting his next seven passing attempts for 46 yards and a touchdown to Jacob Hollister. However, with a 21-10 lead in hand, the six-time Pro Bowler coughed up a fumble that…read more

Spectacular in overtime win
Wilson completed 29 of 43 passes for 378 yards and five touchdowns in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win against the Buccaneers. He also rushed once for 21 yards.
Analysis: The Buccaneers scored on their opening drive, so Wilson responded on his first offensive possession by completing his first five throws for 73 yards and a touchdown to Tyler Lockett, who ended up being his favorite target all afternoon. That was just the start of Wilson's career day, as he threw an additional touchdown to Lockett, one to D.K. Metcalf and two to Jacob Hollister, including the game-winner. This is the signature game an MVP candidate like Wilson needs, as he now has 22 touchdowns…read more
