NFL Lookahead: Don't overlook Russell Wilson's fabulous season

Carolina quarterback Cam Newton is going to win the MVP.

Newton should win the MVP.

Still, it’s hard not to marvel at what Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson has done this season.

I wrote Oct. 6 that Wilson might not survive the season. Seattle had just defeated Detroit 13-10 in controversial fashion and Wilson took a beating. He had no protection. After the first four games, Seattle had allowed 18 sacks.

More than two months later, not only has Wilson survived but he’s thrived.

The fourth-year veteran has thrown for 29 touchdowns with seven interceptions and is completing 68.
