It is a fact that Russell Wilson was sacked four times in the NFL Pro Bowl. When I first read this, I was dumbfounded. Wilson is one of the most elusive quarterbacks in the game. This is a demonstrable fact. It’s also a fact he was sacked 51 times in the 2018 season, despite having the best offensive line in at least the past three years. Were these Pro Bowl sacks more evidence that Wilson sometimes holds the ball too long and creates the sacks himself?
I was primed to write an article on that very premise.
