VIDEO: New Angle of Russell Wilson to Tyler Lockett TD Shows Just How Incredible it Was
By Michael Luciano
You can count on one hand the amount of quarterbacks in NFL history that could do what Seattle Seahawks superstar Russell Wilson did on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams, as he managed to flick a pass across his body 35 yards into the back corner of the end zone, where Tyler Lockett made a terrific snag and toe tap with barely any room to spare. The end zone film makes this throw look even more improbable, and makes it look like Wilson is from another planet.
According to Next Gen Stats, Lockett has a 6.3% chance of making this catch. Somehow, that number seems incredibly high.
Wilson had a near perfect passer rating of 151.8 last night, going 17 of 23 for 268 yards and four touchdowns against a struggling Rams secondary. Wilson is now first in the league in completion percentage, passer rating, and touchdowns this season, which puts him firmly in the MVP race.
If he keeps making magic like this happen, not even Patrick Mahomes will be able to keep pace.
The Seahawks don't have the most dynamic group of skill position players or a good offensive line, but you can never count them out when No. 3 is in a groove on the field.
