Performance team key to Russell Wilson's remarkable durability

RENTON, Wash. -- In Week 3 of the 2016 season, Russell Wilson suffered what remains the most significant injury of his NFL career. The Seattle Seahawks' quarterback was running to his right when an awkward takedown bent his left knee well beyond where it was meant to bend, leaving him with a Grade 2 sprain of his MCL.

Luke Del Rio couldn't believe what happened next.

Del Rio, then the Florida Gators' starting quarterback, suffered the same injury on his same knee eight days earlier, knocking him out of a win over North Texas.
