ARLINGTON, Texas -- Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson heard there had "been a lot of noise." He knew he needed to play better, especially with rookie Jaxson Dart lurking on the New York Giants roster.
All Wilson did on Sunday was throw for 450 yards and three touchdowns in a vintage performance during a 40-37 overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
It wasn't just any old game. Instead, it perhaps saved the 35-year-old's career as a starter.
"This game meant a lot to me. It was time to answer the call," Wilson said.
