Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has compiled nine touchdown passes through the first two weeks of the 2020 NFL season and is already being pegged as an MVP candidate. Only Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has surpassed that many TDs in two weeks with 10 in 2018.
Despite the coronavirus outbreak and related concerns over the offseason, Wilson said he has been ready to go since the Seahawks’ last postseason defeat against the Packers. Judging from his blazing hot start to the season, Wilson certainly came into 2020 prepared.
“Yeah, I think that, definitely in the zone,” Wilson said during his post-game press conference. “Locked in. Focused. Dialed in. My teammates are too. It’s a great group of men like I said. I’ve been ready to play since the last time we had our last game in Green Bay. Every day it’s my mindset, just my performance, team and everything else, just everything that we put into it is just getting ready and trying to be great.”
Although he is one of the game’s best signal-callers, Wilson stated he always tries to find areas in which to improve.
“I think that I have an obsession with this thought process of always trying to find more,” he said. “There’s always – be on this constant
quest for knowledge, be on this understanding that I want to continue to push myself in just the fundamentals, the simple things of the game all the way to the fun parts of throwing the ball in certain spots and all that stuff too.”
Wilson will seek to continue his stellar play in Week 3 when the Seahawks play the Cowboys at CenturyLink Field at 1:25 p.m. PT.
