Mo Wilkerson vs. the Seahawks, Then & Now

Muhammad Wilkerson chuckled when the game at Century Link Field in 2012 came up.

"That's four years ago," he said.

Nevertheless, the game was significant in Wilkerson lore. In an impactful first-half play, Mo rambled 21 yards with a Mike DeVito strip-sack of then-rookie QB Russell Wilson for a touchdown. Three minutes later, he separated Marshawn Lynch from the ball for a forced fumble and another Jets takeaway. Then he drew a holding penalty on a Seattle guard that pushed the hosts back out of Jets territory en route to a punt.

Wilkerson still smiles at the memory of what he did with the ball after the fumble return — he jammed it over the crossbar.
