2. Seahawks supporting cast is legit
Russell Wilson doesn’t throw or hand off the ball to himself. The Seahawks have provided the MVP candidate with solid complementary pieces and they come without much fanfare. Running back Chris Carson has carried the ball 200 times for 853 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and four touchdowns.
Tyler Lockett has stepped in to replace Doug Baldwin and even while battling injuries, he’s amassed 62 catches for 793 yards and six touchdowns. Rookie D.K. Metcalf will be linked with the Eagles JJ Arcega-Whiteside this weekend and thus far, the former Ole Miss star has cashed in with 35 catches for 595 yards and five touchdowns. Metcalf has averaged 17 yards per catch as well.
