Russell Wilson hasn't cooked in a while, Seahawks need offense to emerge vs. Rams on Yahoo Sports app

Frank Schwab
·3 min read

A few weeks into the season, Russell Wilson looked like he’d go wire-to-wire in the MVP race.

By the end of the season, nobody could know what to expect from the Seattle Seahawks’ passing game in the playoffs.

Wilson and the Seahawks take on the Los Angeles Rams in a wild-card matchup on Saturday afternoon, a game that can be live-streamed on the Yahoo Sports app. The Rams have quarterback issues. Jared Goff will be less than two weeks removed from thumb surgery. If he can’t go, John Wolford will make his second career start. L.A. head coach Sean McVay has said he won’t announce a decision before kickoff.

We know the Rams have concerns. But what has happened to Seattle’s passing game?

Russell Wilson’s numbers had a significant drop

Through eight games this season, Wilson had 2,541 yards, 28 touchdowns and a 117.1 passer rating. He was on pace to challenge single-season passing records. The fact that Wilson has never received an MVP vote was repeated a few thousand times. Wilson is a Hall-of-Fame talent but Seattle had never let him operate as a high-volume passer. This seemed like the season it finally happened. He looked like he’d win MVP in a runaway.

The second half of the season was a stark difference. Wilson threw for 1,671 yards and 12 touchdowns. Part of that is due to the Seahawks leaning less on Wilson. He had 4.5 fewer passing attempts per game in the second half of the season. However Wilson wasn’t efficient either. His rating dipped to 91.3.

Seattle doesn’t have a deep set of receivers although DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are two of the NFL’s best. It’s not like Wilson’s talent is in doubt. Seattle’s passing game just evaporated.

In the second half of the season the Seahawks never had more than 236 net passing yards in a game. That’s shocking in today’s NFL for any team, but unexplainable for one with Wilson, Metcalf and Lockett.

Seahawks’ pass offense has struggled

It’s hard to deny the Seahawks’ track record. Even if it’s odd they have limited Wilson in the offense, they win. Even as the pass offense struggled, Seattle went 6-2 and won the NFC West. One win was a decisive 20-9 victory over the Rams in Week 16 to clinch the division title.

It’s also fair to assume that if Seattle is to win four games, including the Super Bowl, Wilson will have to play better than he has the past couple months. Seattle’s defense has improved tremendously since early in the season. The running game has been good. Maybe that will be enough to beat the Rams, who have a fantastic defense and will presumably want to play a low-scoring game due to their quarterback conundrum. But if the Seahawks match up with Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen or any other top quarterback, 200 passing yards probably isn’t going to be enough.

Wilson is one of the most talented quarterbacks in NFL history. He has won a Super Bowl before, too. It shouldn’t surprise anyone if Wilson turned it on in the postseason and carried the Seahawks to a deep run.

  • Biden's first act: Orders on pandemic, climate, immigration

    In his first official acts as president, Joe Biden is signing executives orders on a broad range of issues, from the coronavirus pandemic to climate change and immigration, to fulfil campaign promises. Highlights of actions Biden is taking Wednesday: THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC MASK REQUIREMENT: Biden is requiring the use of masks and social distancing in all federal buildings, on federal lands and by federal employees and contractors. Consistently masking up is a practice that science has shown to be effective in preventing the spread of the coronavirus, particularly when social distancing is difficult to maintain. He is challenging all Americans to wear a mask for the first 100 days of his administration. That’s a critical period, since communities will still be vulnerable to the virus even as the pace of vaccination increases in pursuit of Biden’s goal of 100 million shots in 100 days. WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION: Biden also is directing the government to rejoin the World Health Organization, which Donald Trump withdrew from earlier this year after accusing it of incompetence and bowing to Chinese pressure over the coronavirus. Symbolizing Biden’s commitment to a more prominent global role, White House coronavirus co-ordinator Jeff Zients announced that Dr. Anthony Fauci will deliver a speech Thursday to the WHO as head of a U.S. delegation. Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert, will lay out how the administration intends to work with the WHO on reforms, supporting the coronavirus response and promoting global health and health security ___ CLIMATE PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD: Biden will sign an executive orders to rejoin the Paris climate accord, fulfilling a campaign pledge to get back into the global climate pact on Day One. Trump, a supporter of oil, gas and coal, had made a first priority of pulling out of global efforts to cut climate-damaging fossil fuel emissions. It will take 30 days for the U.S. to officially be back in. REVIEWING TRUMP ROLLBACKS: Biden’s Day One plans also include a temporary moratorium on new Trump administration oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, moving to revoke a presidential permit for the Keystone XL oil and gas pipeline and reviewing a Trump administration freeze on vehicle mileage and emissions standards. Biden also is setting in motion an evaluation of another Trump move that cut boundaries and protections for some national monuments. Agencies will be directed to consider impact of climate change on disadvantaged communities and on future generations from any regulatory action that affected fossil fuel emissions, a new requirement. ___ IMMIGRATION ENDING BAN ON MUSLIM Travellers: Biden is ending what is variously known as the “travel ban” or the “Muslim ban,” one of the first acts of the Trump administration. Trump in January 2017 banned foreign nationals from seven mostly Muslim countries from entry into the country. After a lengthy court fight, a watered-down version of the rule was upheld by the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision in 2018. The new administration says it will improve the screening of visitors by strengthening information sharing with foreign governments and other measures. BORDER WALL: Biden is immediately ending the national emergency that Trump declared on the border in February 2018 to divert billions of dollars from the Defence Department to wall construction. He also is halting construction to review contracts and how wall money might be redirected. Despite Trump's repeated promises that Mexico would pay for the wall, U.S. Customs and Border Protection says Americans have committed $15 billion for more than 700 miles (1,120 kilometres). It is unclear how many miles are under contract and what penalties the government would have to pay for cancelling them. The Supreme Court has scheduled arguments Feb. 22 on the legality of Trump’s diverting Defence Department funds for counter-narcotics efforts and military construction projects to wall construction. DACA: Biden will order his Cabinet to work to preserve the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which has shielded hundreds of thousands of people who came to the country as young children from deportation since it was introduced in 2012. Trump ordered an end to DACA in 2017, triggering a legal challenge that ended in June when the Supreme Court ruled that it should be kept in place because the Trump administration failed to follow federal rule-making guidelines in undoing it. But DACA is still facing legal challenges. In his presidential proclamation, Biden is calling on Congress to adopt legislation that gives DACA recipients permanent legal status and a path to citizenship. There are currently about 700,000 people enrolled. DEPORTATIONS: Biden is revoking one of Trump’s first executive orders, which declared that all of the roughly 11 million people in the country illegally are considered priorities for deportation. The Department of Homeland Security will conduct a review of enforcement priorities. Biden’s campaign site says deportations will focus on national security and public safety threats. The order says nothing about a 100-day moratorium on deportations that Biden promised during the campaign. Susan Rice, who is tapped to run the White House Domestic Policy Council, says any decision on moratoriums would come from Homeland Security. CENSUS: Biden is reversing a Trump plan to exclude people in the country illegally from being counted in the 2020 Census. The once-a-decade census is used to determine how many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state gets, as well as the distribution of $1.5 trillion in federal spending each year. Biden’s team says the new administration will ensure the Census Bureau has time to complete an accurate count for each state and that the apportionment is “fair and accurate.” ___ STUDENT DEBT Biden is asking the Education Department to extend a pause on federal student loan payments through at least Sept. 30, continuing a moratorium that began early in the pandemic but was set to expire at the end of January. Borrowers, who owe a collective $1.5 trillion, would not be required to make payments on their federal student loans, their loans would not accrue any interest, and all debt collection activity would halt through September. Congress paused student debt payments last March as part of a virus relief package, and the Trump administration extended it twice. Biden's order does not include the type of mass debt cancellation that some Democrats asked him to orchestrate through executive action. He has said that action should come from Congress. ___ HOUSING FORECLOSURES Housing foreclosures and evictions would be delayed until at least March 31, 2021. Almost 12% of homeowners with mortgages are late on their payments, while 19% of renters are behind, according to a Census Bureau survey of households. The federal moratoriums would ensure that people could stay in their homes even if they cannot afford their monthly bills. Biden is also calling on Congress to extend assistance to renters. While the moratoriums have aided several million Americans during the pandemic and helped to contain the disease, they have also meant that billions of dollars in housing costs have gone unpaid. ___ Associated Press writers Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, Ellen Knickmeyer, Ben Fox, Elliot Spagat, Matt Lee and Josh Boak contributed to this report.

    The Cardiovascular drug market studied was anticipated to grow with a CAGR of nearly 3. 8% during the forecast period. The major factors driving the growth of the market are the rising global prevalence of various coronary heart diseases such as stroke, cardiomyopathy causing a global burden of cardiac deaths and favorable reimbursement initiatives.New York, Jan. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Cardiovascular Drugs Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2020 - 2025)" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06009482/?utm_source=GNW For instance, according to the Global Health And Wellness Report published in 2018, nearly 40% of the adult population in the United States were diagnosed with a cardiovascular condition in the United States which directly resulted in a higher demand for highly efficient and immediate treatment. Also, the ongoing research activities by key players to develop technologically advanced cardiovascular drugs with reduced side effects such as biosimilars, monoclonal antibodies and peptide therapies to save the life of the patients are expected to further boost the growth of the global cardiovascular drugs market revenue throughout the forecast period.Key Market TrendsThe Anti-coagulants in the Drug Class Segment are Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share in the Cardiovascular Drugs MarketAnticoagulant drugs are expected to witness the largest market share in the cardiovascular drugs market during the forecast period. This dominance is due to the increased use of these drugs in various cardiac indications owing to their ability to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). Furthermore, the increased prescriptions by the physicians and patient acceptance due to their proven efficiency in managing coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) which are the major cause of cardiac strokes and death contributing a significant market revenue. On the other hand, anti-arrhythmic drugs are expected to lose the market due to rise in the adoption of medical devices such as defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) pacemakers in recent years due to their automated acute hemodynamic response based on real-time changes in a patient’s cardiac condition. In contrast, anti-hypertensives are anticipated to witness the fastest growth in the forecast period due to rising awareness among the patients and their rapid use in prevention of severe complications such as stroke and myocardial infarction propelling the market growth across the forecast period.North America Dominates the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period.North America is expected to dominate the overall cardiovascular drug market throughout the forecast period. The major factors attributing to the growth are deskbound lifestyle lacking physical activity, lack of proper diet, anxiety, and stress resulting in chronic diseases such as diabetes & obesity leading to rising in the prevalence of multiple cardiovascular diseases like CAD, strokes and atrial fibrillation in the United States necessitated the efficient CVD treatment. For instance, according to The American Heart Association, in 2018, nearly 92.1 million individuals in the U.S. suffered from cardiovascular diseases among which CAD was the major cause of death resulted in higher demand for better treatment with efficient medication driving the market in the United States contributing to the outstanding share of revenue propelling the global cardiovascular drugs market throughout the forecasted period.Competitive LandscapeThe cardiovascular drugs market is moderately competitive and consists of several major players. Few of the key players are developing the novel product and technologies to compete with the existing products while others are acquiring and partnering with the other companies trending in the market. For instance, in May 2019, Pfizer Inc received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its two oral formulations VYNDAQEL and VYNDAMAX, the first and only medicines indicated for the treatment of the cardiomyopathy of wild-type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) in adults to reduce cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular-related hospitalization which is further expected to foster the global cardiovascular drugs market growth throughout the forecast period. Some of the companies which are currently dominating the market are C. H. Boehringer Sohn AG & Co KG, Amgen Inc, Baxter International Inc, Pfizer Inc, and Novartis AG.Reasons to Purchase this report:- The market estimate (ME) sheet in Excel format- 3 months of analyst supportRead the full report: https://www.reportlinker.com/p06009482/?utm_source=GNWAbout ReportlinkerReportLinker is an award-winning market research solution.
