In his much-anticipated return from a stint on injured reserve, quarterback Russell Wilson posted one lowly performance in the Seattle Seahawks' 17-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 10.
Rust concerns for Wilson were a talking point heading into this game, considering that he missed the Seahawks' last three games after suffering a ruptured tendon in his right middle finger. And as was showcased over the course of the game, he had a difficult time getting into a groove.
Wilson recorded 161 passing yards and posted a 39.7 passer rating against the Packers. More so, this was the first game of his season where he failed to record a passing touchdown, as he instead threw a pair of costly interceptions.
This 17-0 loss for the Seahawks is also the first time in Wilson’s 10-year career that he has been shut out.

The Seahawks now sit near the bottom of the NFC standings with a 3-6 record, which is quite a surprise for a team that was being tabbed by many ahead of the season as a dark horse contender to make a push to the NFC championship game.
There is still plenty of time for the Seahawks to turn their season around, but they sure are in dire need of a winning streak to get themselves back into the NFC playoff picture.
