Week 1 Takeaways: Cam Runs Wild, Bears Escape Detroit, Russ Indeed Cooks

Things That Made Me Giddy

Seahawks’ Run-Pass Balance: It was 38 dropbacks and 20 runs, in a game they led almost throughout. Instead of sweating out a one-possession win, they cruised in Atlanta.

Russell Wilson, Fourth Down, Foot on Throat: The Falcons had been going out of their way to take the deep ball away, but the fourth-and-5 scenario, forcing Atlanta to press his receivers, presented an opportunity. DK Metcalf working one-on-one, no safety in sight, Russell Wilson throwing it… this is a gosh dang layup.
