Russell Wilson came into Sunday's game against the Jets still feeling the effects of a sprained MCL in his left knee he suffered in Week 3.
But instead of appearing hobbled, Wilson looked like the mobile quarterback who has twice taken Seattle to the Super Bowl. He was sharp from the opening whistle, leading the Seahawks to an easy 27-17 win over the Jets.

Wilson showed nice mobility in the pocket on two first-half TD passes, an 8-yard pass to C.J. Spiller and a 42-yard strike to Tanner McEvoy (his first NFL reception).

Wilson completed 23 of 32 passes for 309 yards and three touchdowns.
Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had his own pain from Week 3 to overcome — a brutal six-interception outing against the Chiefs that led to speculation the Jets would replace him with Geno Smith if he struggled again. Fitzpatrick again had a problem with picks, throwing three on Sunday while completing only 23 of 41 passes for 261 yards.
Christine Michael led the Seahawks (3-1) on the ground with 18 carries for 58 yards, while tight end Jimmy Graham caught six passes for 113 yards. Brandon Marshall led the Jets (1-3) in receiving, with four catches for 89 yards and a touchdown.
