1. Russell Wilson is 4-0 versus the “Birds’

Here’s one that you’ve, no doubt, heard a time or two. Over the course of his brilliant career, Russell Wilson has never lost to the Philadelphia Eagles. The ‘Birds’ ended one losing streak this season, a four-game skid courtesy of the Cowboys.

Sunday would be as good a time as any to end another losing streak. For his career, Wilson is 4-0 versus Philly. The largest margin of victory was a 14-point victory during the 2017 championship run. The narrowest victory was the most recent, an eight-point win on November 24th.

2. How did Russell Wilson do the last time these two met?

Wilson didn’t have his best game the last time these two teams met. He racked up 200 yards passing, tossed a touchdown, and threw an interception. The ‘Hawks won by a slim 17-9 margin. Rashaad Penny scored the Hawks’ other touchdown, courtesy of a 58 yarder, but as you know, he won’t be participating Sunday.

Unfortunately, Philly will see ‘Beast Mode’ aka Marshawn Lynch. Eagles fans are hoping his skills have diminished. For the season, Russell Wilson has thrown 31 touchdowns versus only five interceptions, and he’s tallied a quarterback rating of 106.3.
