On Sunday the Seattle Seahawks went in to the home of the Carolina Panthers and helped their playoff chances dramatically with a 30-27 victory, their second road win of the season on a game ending field goal by Sebastian Janikowksi.
The Panthers offense played horrifically and the Seattle defense stepped up repeatedly in the red zone, which kept the Seahawks in the game until it was time for Russell Wilson to squeeze in one more fourth quarter comeback in his twenties. It wasn’t that long ago that Wilson was a plucky, young rookie who came in and unseated the presumed starter, free agent signee Matt Flynn, but he is now the fifth oldest member of the Seahawks 53 man roster (he is sixth oldest if one wishes to count Kam Chancellor).
