We’re still in the NFL preseason, but watching Russell Wilson on Thursday night in Seattle against the Cowboys… you’d think we’re in about Week 10 of the regular season.
Wilson completed 16-of-21 pass attempts for 192 yards and two touchdowns, and had a play in the third quarter that was classic Russell Wilson. The Seahawks’ quarterback ran in circles for about 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage to escape pressure from the Dallas defense, before eventually firing a perfect pass in the end zone to Tyler Lockett for a Seattle touchdown.

While it was a great night for Wilson, it wasn’t such an enjoyable evening for the Cowboys’ starting quarterback. Tony Romo exited the game in the first quarter with a back injury, after throwing just one pass.
