Seahawks have best Week 1 of Russell Wilson’s career

Russell Wilson said last week that he is “just getting started.”

Well if Week 1 is anything to judge by he has begun an MVP campaign like even dedicated Seattle Seahawk fans have not seen.

Wilson just played his best opening game of his career by traditional passer rating and QBR. Last year was his second best in passer rating. Those two years both shattered anything Wilson did in Week 1 before then, and Wilson is not only razor-sharp at launch but is in all-time NFL company along the way.

He came out with 11 completions in a row, setting his own personal record to open a game, then finished 31/35 for one of the best games in NFL history.
