Highlights from the game can be found here.
Roger Sherman of The Ringer tabbed yesterday's Seahawks win as the game of the year.
*The game of the year took place in Seattle on Sunday: The Seahawks won 41-38, but Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson confirmed he's perhaps the most exciting player in the league just a couple of months into his rookie season. *
Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR says Paul Richardson has become a trusted target for Wilson.
Sean Tomlinson of Bleacher Report believes Wilson is ascending into the MVP discussion.
*By pulling his team out of a September slumber, Wilson has vaulted himself into the MVP conversation at midseason. The Seahawks' 1-2 start is becoming a distant memory. In its place is a team that's climbing as it usually does when the intensity rises and the temperature drops later in the season. The Seahawks haven't reached their peak yet, either. *
Peter King led his weekly Monday Morning Quarterback column recapping the game.
*Numbers … meh. The drama of the game, the sheer drama, in such a loud place. Watching Watson, 22, duel Wilson, 28, you wanted it to never end. Couldn't there be overtime? Quintuple overtime? The college overtime? The Buffalo Wild Wings never-ending overtime? *
Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times gave the Seahawks offense high praise in his game grades.
NFL.com's Mike Silver believes Watson is on the verge of reaching Wilson's level as a quarterback.
Danny O'Neil of 710 ESPN Seattle believes the Seahawks showed Sunday they can win a shootout.
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman had a lot of praise for Watson after his performance.
