Good afternoon, 12s.
Here's a look at what's "out there" for today — Friday, October 6 — about your Seattle Seahawks:
Gil Brandt of NFL.com took an early look at the MVP race and picked 10 potential candidates. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson made the list at No. 7:
*As with Brees and the Saints, Wilson has probably saved the Seahawks from an 0-4 start. Yes, the offense stumbled out of the gate a bit, but Wilson has kept himself and his team within striking distance in the NFC West. If Seattle suddenly goes on a completely plausible five-game win streak, then Wilson will definitely vault into the top of this conversation. *
