The Seattle Seahawks, led by former Badger QB and current MVP favorite Russell Wilson, completed another incredible comeback last night to improve to 5-0. On Sunday Night Football, Wilson led a wild final drive that included a 4th-and-10 conversion as well as a game-winning TD on 4th-and-goal with just 20 seconds left.
After another battle with Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins ended in a 27-26 Seahawks win, Wilson was reminded of crazy, back-and-forth games that the two former Big Ten QB’s played in college. Wilson, who starred at Wisconsin in 2011, clashed with the former Michigan State star in the 2011 Big Ten Championship, a game that the Badgers pulled out 42-39 over the Spartans.
The two Big Ten QB’s added another chapter to their history book last night:

Wilson and the Seahawks are off to a terrific 2020 start, and the former Badger should be receiving some MVP votes just a couple of months down the road.
