Why is Wilson the 13th man?

Could anyone explain the significance of this card? I thought the 13th man referred to the officials.

Because he is a qb and a rb...duh!

13th man is the CFL version of the 12th man.

What that has to do with Russell Wilson though is totally beyond me. Maybe they thought his jersey number was 13? I dunno. Stupid card.

He's a player, a fan, and our leader: the Trinity. Three yet one. The 13th Man. Or maybe it's some stupid typo.

James
John
Philip
Thomas
Matthew
James the son of Alpheus
Judas

13th, he's just so good he accounts for 2 people.

He's bad luck for the opposing team.
