There is no sugar-coating it: the New England Patriots’ defense had a tough day against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. The unit was unable to keep up with Russell Wilson, who is one of the best quarterbacks in the business — if not the best right now — and threw five touchdowns against the team’s vaunted secondary. Wilson and his supporting cast were marvelous, while the Patriots failed to force the group into many mistakes en route to giving up 35 points.
Luckily, for the team it will face a quarterback this week that is not playing on as high a level as Wilson.
