5 bold predictions for Seahawks against Rams
1. Mr. Unlimited proves what he’s made of with back-to-back unlimited wins
The Seahawks were down 0-7 into the second quarter, enduring five three-and-outs before tying the score.
For most quarterbacks, the situation would be a death sentence as the offense flatlines with despair. But not for Wilson.
Wilson turned the game around in what can be described as “vintage Wilson”: Wilson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, giving the Seahawks the 21 points they would need to emerge victorious from Levi’s Stadium.
It was a special day for Wilson, as he had what he described as “one of the top 10 plays of his career.” During the play, Wilson spun away from Dontae Johnson and angled past Nick Bosa before connecting with Swain for the touchdown.

Avoiding a loss in Week 5 will be like avoiding Johnson and Bosa, but Wilson can hold his water against a passer like Stafford. The challenge here will be finding holes in the Rams defense: Wilson may not even have time to read deep with Donald barreling towards him and Jalen Ramsey hovering around his favorite targets.
Wilson will have to work wonders behind an underperforming offensive line, which ranked 25th in the league entering Week 4. During the game, Wilson was sacked three times in light of the win.
The lacking protection will be a lot to overcome, but the spread gives the Rams just a one-point lead. As badly as the Rams need the win, so do the Seahawks.
