20. Wilson rushes for 100+ yards

What an interesting start 2018 has been for the Seattle Seahawks, as this team quickly went from a team with a good chance of bouncing back in the NFC to a unit that seems to be heading towards a year of rebuilding. Frustrations were high last season when looking at the lack of protection Russell Wilson received from his teammates on the offensive line, and after seeing the Seahawks quarterback get sacked 12 times in two games, it looks like nothing has changed.

Sitting at 0-2 was the last thing Seattle wanted to see happen, and not even a matchup at home against the Dallas Cowboys is going to be smooth when seeing how their defense has been quite the surprise over the first two games. Whether the Seahawks have what it takes to knock off the Cowboys will come down to the play of Wilson under center, and there’s a good chance he will need to be effective with his legs in this one.

Seattle’s only chance of turning things around seems like it will require Wilson to take on everything himself on offense, which nobody wants to see. Then again, Wilson has proven to be most dangerous at times by moving around with his legs, so maybe a strong game on the ground will help the Seahawks in a big way.
