There’s plenty in doubt through seven weeks of the NFL season.<\/p>\n

But one thing’s increasingly clear. The Seattle Seahawks won the Russell Wilson trade by a landslide.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks cruised on Sunday to a 37-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers as perhaps the most surprising 4-3 team in the NFL. They were supposed to be in full rebuild mode while targeting a prime pick in next year’s NFL draft after dealing Wilson to the Denver Broncos. Instead, they sit alone atop the NFC West while Denver’s 2023 first-round pick acquired in the Wilson trade promises to land the premium selection.<\/p>\n

Talk about a win-win.<\/p>\n

Much of Seattle’s early-season success can be attributed to Geno Smith. While Wilson’s languished in Denver, Smith has revived his career in Seattle and emerged as the NFL’s most accurate passer. He entered Sunday with a league-best 73.4% completion rate that he boosted with a 20-of-27 effort against the Chargers.<\/p>\n

This is a man who hasn’t been a regular NFL starter since 2014 and saw his career derailed when a sucker punch broke his jaw in 2015. Few thought the 2013 second-round pick would start in the NFL again. Yet, here he is in 2022 leading a top-10 scoring offense.<\/p>\n
