Russell Wilson's Retro Performance Clears the Air
After a near-crazy fourth-quarter comeback, the Giants lost to the Dallas Cowboys 37-40. However, despite the loss, they could leave the field with their heads held high, especially Russell Wilson, wearing the No. 3 nfl jersey.
In this game, Wilson completed 41 passes, completing 73.2% of his 41 attempts, including 7 of his 11 long throws, for 450 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. This gave him a 618-yard passing season, leading the NFL. It was also the second time in his career since 2017 that Wilson threw for 450+ yards, proving he was finally back to his former self.
Wilson's career-best performance was enough to let the coach and the Giants know who their starting quarterback would be. It might be hard for Wilson to lead the Giants to a playoff spot, or for him to repeat this kind of performance in the future, but when he took off his sweat-soaked New York Giants jerseys and stared in the mirror, he saw his 27-year-old self.
