1. Russell Wilson

No one should act all that surprised to see Wilson in the top spot on this list since every football fan knows just how dangerous the Seahawks star can be this time of year.

There’s a reason why Seattle has only missed the playoffs once (2017 season) with Wilson under center, and after the Seahawks missed out on winning the NFC West, one can only imagine the kind of motivation the quarterback is going to be playing with against the Eagles.

For the most part, Philadelphia did a decent job keeping Wilson and company in check during their regular-season meeting after Seattle scored just 17 points, but the Eagles should be ready for a much tougher battle.

Knowing Wilson, there’s nothing the Seahawks star would love more than to earn another shot at San Francisco in the playoffs, but the only way this can possibly happen is if Seattle advances past Philadelphia during the Wild Card Round.

Preventing Wilson from making big plays will be far from easy for the Eagles on the defensive side of the football, but the team didn’t come all this way just to be sent home early.

If Philadelphia can find a way to make sure Wilson doesn’t make the big plays he normally does, this will put the Eagles in better position to be victorious.
