Russell Wilson: Delivering in difficult moments
Russell Wilson has willed the Seahawks to an 8-2 record even though they have trailed for over half of their offensive plays in 2019.
The most impressive part of Wilson's game has been how well he's performed in high-difficulty situations, especially given his volume in those situations. Wilson has had 15.3% of his passes come on extended plays (4+ seconds to throw), the second-highest rate in the NFL, and he has averaged 9.6 yards per attempt (fourth-most) with a 129.9 passer rating (highest) on those passes.
He has been aggressive throwing downfield, passing deep on 15.6% of his attempts (third-highest rate) while completing 16.9% of his deep passes above expectation (highest) for 7 TDs and 0 INTs. Although Wilson has excelled in high-leverage situations, he's also excelled in stable situations, with the highest passer rating (122.4) and second-most yards per attempt (9.2) when not pressured.
