Mo Wilkerson vs. the Seahawks, Then & Now
He Had a Monster Game at Seattle in '12; He and His Jets Mates Need a Big Effort at Home Sunday
Muhammad Wilkerson chuckled when the game at Century Link Field in 2012 came up.
"That's four years ago," he said.
Nevertheless, the game was significant in Wilkerson lore. In an impactful first-half play, Mo rambled 21 yards with a Mike DeVito strip-sack of then-rookie QB Russell Wilson for a touchdown. Three minutes later, he separated Marshawn Lynch from the ball for a forced fumble and another Jets takeaway. Then he drew a holding penalty on a Seattle guard that pushed the hosts back out of Jets territory en route to a punt.
