Seahawks, Wilson ready to run with Newton, Patriots

The Seattle Seahawks let Russ cook. The New England Patriots let Cam run.

Popular strategies resulted in victories in the opening week of the NFL season, and now the perennial powers meet in Week 2 on Sunday night in Seattle.

Wilson earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors after guiding the Seahawks to a 38-25 win at Atlanta. He completed 31 of 35 passes for 322 yards and four touchdowns and also rushed for a team-high 29 yards. Wilson’s 88.6 completion percentage was a franchise record and the third-best mark in league history for a quarterback attempting at least 35 passes.
