Things got off to a rough start for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who was saddled with a pick-six on the opening drive against the Patriots due to a pass tight end Greg Olsen failed to catch. Russ regrouped in the following series. Wilson capped a 13-play, 75-yard drive by threading the needle to wide receiver Tyler Lockett in the end zone, via NFL Twitter

It comes as no surprise to see Russell Wilson respond in ideal fashion on primetime to even the score at seven. He is coming off a stellar performance in the 2020 NFL season opener that saw him complete 31-of-35 passes for 322 yards and four touchdowns. Despite a slight hiccup, he appears to have found his footing.

Meanwhile, Lockett remains as the No. 1 option for Russell Wilson in the passing game. With wide receiver D.K. Metcalf serving as a viable complementary option on the other side, the Patriots' secondary led by Stephon Gilmore should have their work cut out trying to contain them.
