I'm cool with the second challenge. They weren't in a position where they'd be likely to need the timeout and they had like 8 seconds left to use a coaches challenge. Might as well.

I’m 50-50 on the second one. If Pete didn’t have such a horrible track record with challenges or if he still had one more, I might be inclined to be more at ease with taking that chance. It was only a two score game with a coach that likes to go for the win and more likely than most to go for 2, coupled with the porous defense…. I just wasn’t convinced at that moment that a clearly losing challenge was a good risk.

41 points. Defense scored on pick 6 plus XP.
Still excellent though.

When was the last time RW had back to back 300 yard games? And how many times had he done that in his career?

2020, weeks 3-4 were the last time wilson had back-to-back 300 yard games

He was close on 9/19 and 9/26 last year - 343 yards and then 298. But the last time he actually did it was in 2020.
Interesting how often it's been in September. In 2019, he did it once, and it was also in September, like in 2020 and 2021.
He didn't do it at all in 2018. He came close in September (and early October) of 2017 - 373 and 295 - then actually pulled it off in late October - 334 and 452 - and almost extended it into a third consecutive week with 297. And that was the one season when I'll agree that Wilson was indeed carrying the offense.

I have to admit I was surprised that 300-yard games are probably not a good measure of how well Wilson is playing. Wilson's best season, the only one in which he was legitimately among the top five QBs in the league (he was in the top ten other times), was 2015, and he only had one 300-yard game that season.

And that's really a big part of the problem, isn't it? Wilson was amazing in 2015 in terms of doing things that actually help a team win, but he didn't rack up the kind of crazy counting stats that get attention from the MVP voters. And that's not what Wilson appears to want. Wilson appears to care more about how he and his stats and his MVP campaign look than how much he's actually helping the team win.

To finish answering @HawkFreak's question, I'll finish up by looking at the first three seasons of Wilson's career.

In 2014, Wilson had two games with over 300 yards passing - one in October and one in December - and his next-highest total was 263. No consecutive games over 300.
In 2013, Wilson had a game in September with 320 passing yards, one in December with 310, and one in November when he was only short by 13 yards (287).
In 2012, Wilson didn't have any games with 300+ yards of passing. He got close twice with 293, once in October against the Patriots and once in December against the Bears in the game that made him famous.
