That was just Wilson’s second season in the NFL. However, the Seahawks have reached just one Super Bowl game after that. This year, things seem a bit different though.
Wilson is in contention for this year’s NFL MVP award alongside Green Bay Packers star Aaron Rodgers. He has already thrown for 2,500+ yards with 28 TDs and eight interceptions.
