In the second quarter of the Monday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles, former Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson threw a gorgeous high 52-yard throw to Seattle Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf on third and long.
The deep pass from Wilson set the Seahawks up to score two plays later on a one-yard touchdown pass from him to David Moore. The second-quarter touchdown was the first score of the game for either team. The former Badger quarterback struggled in the first quarter with the Eagles’ defense forcing two turnovers on downs.
Russell Wilson had only 56 passing yards in the first quarter, but the big pass to Metcalf opened things up for Seattle’s offense. Seahawks’ running back Chris Carson ran in for a 16-yard touchdown on the next drive to put them up 14-0 over the Eagles halfway through the second quarter.
The Seattle Seahawks have stumbled since coming back from their bye, but this big play from Wilson to Metcalf may help Seattle to pull away against the 3-6-1 Philadelphia Eagles.
Russ can LAUNCH it. 🎯 @DangeRussWilson @dkm14 #Seahawks
