Wilson can’t spark Seahawks in his return from finger injury

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Russell Wilson did everything in his power to return as soon as possible from a finger injury that ended his remarkable run of endurance and reliability. Wilson threw two interceptions in the end zone and never found a rhythm as the Seahawks fell 17-0 to the Green Bay Packers for their first shutout loss since 2011, the year before his rookie season in Seattle. I didn’t play timid at all.” Wilson’s struggles continued a frustrating season in which he ended his string of 149 consecutive regular-season games played to open his career. “I don’t know if his finger was a factor,” said Packers cornerback Kevin King, who had one of Wilson’s two interceptions. And they did a nice job tonight, they’re a good defense.” The Seahawks trailed 3-0 in the third quarter and had a golden opportunity to at least tie the game until King picked off Wilson on a third-and-10 play from the 12.
