Russell Wilson has established himself as the greatest quarterback in Seattle Seahawks franchise history in only eight years and has broken several franchise records on the way to cementing his stature in the NFL today. However, he can break another this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Wilson is only 102 passing yards behind Matt Hasselbeck for the most in Seahawks history. In addition to being the franchise leader in touchdown passes, wins and completion percentage, Wilson has 29,332 passing yards over his career and has an opportunity to pass Hasselbeck in his next game and further strengthen his legacy in the Emerald City.
Facing the Cardinals brings a prime opportunity for Wilson and the Seahawks offense to come alive and rack up yards. Seattle has notoriously played down to its competition when holding a sizable lead this season, but the sole blowout victory came against Arizona in Week 4. It could happen again.
The Seahawks currently have the No. 1 seed in the NFC, so their primary objective is winning their remaining two games in the regular season to claim it and obtain at least one home playoff game. However, it would be cathartic for many 12s to see Wilson break yet another Seahawks record and further solidify himself as the best signal-caller the team has ever had.
