ABOUT THE Seahawks
• Seattle (9-2) reached 6-0 on the road last weekend with a 17-9 win in Philadelphia. It could have been 21-3 by halftime if not for two blown touchdown passes — an overthrow by QB Russell Wilson and drop by receiver DK Metcalf. Seattle's defense forced a season-high five takeaways in the win.
• Receiver Tyler Lockett, Seattle's top weapon, will be three weeks removed from hospitalization due to severe swelling in his leg. His first game back in Philadelphia saw Lockett serve more as a decoy. The Seahawks have added tall targets in Metcalf (listed 6-4) and Josh Gordon (6-3) to the offense.
• The Seahawks' 23rd-ranked defense has surrendered yards, but it trails only New England and Pittsburgh in takeaways with 24.
• DE Jadeveon Clowney, traded from Houston to Seattle on Aug. 31, leads the Seahawks defense in quarterback hits (12), sacks (three) and forced fumbles (three).
PLAYER SPEAK | QB Russell Wilson
• Wilson is stating his MVP case with a career-best 112.1 quarterback rating in his eighth NFL season. He's lifted the Seahawks' fifth-ranked offense with 27 touchdowns (24 passing) while throwing just three interceptions.
• Wilson, 30, is the NFL's highest-paid player at $35 million per season. He's one of six QBs to sign a contract surpassing Kirk Cousins' $28 million average salary.
• Seahawks coach Pete Carroll on Wilson: "It's been an extension of him continuing to approve. He's at the best of his career, meaning he's a little bit more in tune, a little bit faster, a little bit more in command."
