Seahawks fans may be on the verge of seeing their team accomplish a bit of unwitting NFL history this season.
Only seven times since the merger in 1970 has a quarterback been a team’s leading rusher — and only four players have done it (Chicago’s Bobby Douglass in 1972, Philadelphia’s Randall Cunningham from 1987-90, Philadelphia’s Donovan McNabb in 2000 and Carolina’s Cam Newton in 2012).
But with five games left in the 2017 regular season Seattle’s Russell Wilson appears poised to join that list, leading the Seahawks with 401 yards, almost more than double anyone else on the roster (the injured Chris Carson with 208).
