IRVING, Texas - Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson controls games as much with his running as his passing.
Wilson rushed for 849 yards on 118 carries last season. Few of Wilson’s runs are designed. Most come out of the pocket when he’s being pressured and running lanes open.
Wilson is a decisive runner, and he’s adept at gaining yards and getting out of bounds before he takes a big hit.
Last season, the Cowboys held Wilson to season lows in carries (2) and yards (12) with a disciplined approach to rushing the passer.
He's already gained 271 yards on 52 carries this season and is tied for 16th in the NFL with 10 runs of 10 yards or more.
