The 12s got what they asked for Week 1 in Atlanta. The Seattle Seahawks let quarterback Russell Wilson cook and he fried the Falcons to the tune of 38-25 on Sunday.
Wilson completed 31 of 35 passes attempted for 322 yards, four touchdowns and a passer rating of 143.1. He found three different receivers for scores against Atlanta: running back Chris Carson (two TDs), wide receiver DK Metcalf, and tight end Greg Olsen.
Wilson also finished the day with the Seahawks’ most rushing yards at 29. On Sunday, he became just the fifth quarterback in NFL history with over 4,000 rushing yards.
But, the impressive numbers just keep coming . . .
