Wilson Has More 90+ QBR Games As Luck, RGIII Combined
Russell Wilson has as many individual games with a Total Quarterback Rating of 90 or more as Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck combined.
Wilson has five games with a 90+ Total QBR.
Kaepernick Had Zero QBR Against Seahawks When Pressured
Colin Kaepernick had a QB rating of 103.6 when not pressured in the San Francisco 49ers' loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
But when Seattle was able to pressure Kaepernick, his QB rating was zero. Kaepernick was 2-for-9 for six yards in those situations.
Sherman Claims Sample Was Contaminated
Richard Sherman argued that his urine specimen that tested positive for performance enhancing drugs had been contaminated, according to a source.
Sherman is appealing a four-game suspension by the NFL.
Sherman claims that the cup containing his urine specimen was leaking, prompting the collector to place a second cup underneath it to capture any leakage, the source said.
A decision is expected to be made in the coming week.
Seahawks Don't Expect Ruling On Sherman
Richard Sherman missed the Seattle Seahawks' practices on Thursday and Friday to be present at his appeals in New York City.
Sherman faces a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's performance enhancing policy.
The Seahawks don't expect a ruling on Sherman until next week and that he will play on Sunday against the 49ers.
Cable Making Huge Impact For Seahawks, Could Become NFL HC Again
Tom Cable has had a big impact on the Seattle Seahawks, giving the team a physical mindset.
Cable's presence is so important that Marshawn Lynch even waited for reassurance that Cable would be back for 2012 before he agreed to re-sign.
Cable is expected by many around the NFL to resurface as a head coach.
Cable went 8-8 as head coach of the Raiaders in 2010.
NBC Flexes 49ers/Seahawks For Week 16
The Week 16 game between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks has been moved to NBC's Sunday Night Football.
NBC had originally selected the Chargers/Jets game.
The 49ers will play Week 15 at the Patriots on NBC as well.
Russell Wilson Nearly Became Backup For Luck Or Griffin
Sources say there were at least three teams, possibly more, that intended to draft Russell Wilson shortly after the Seattle Seahawks selected him with the 75th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
The Eagles would have picked Wilson at No. 88, the pick they used on Nick Foles.
The Colts would have selected Wilson to become Andrew Luck's backup at 92nd. T.Y. Hilton was picked at that point by Indianapolis.
The Redskins also would have picked Wilson at 102nd overall and instead went with Kirk Cousins. Cousins is the backup to Robert Griffin III.
Browner To Begin Four-Game Suspension
Brandon Browner is expected to begin his four-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance enhancing drug policy this week.
Browner is a starting cornerback for the Seahawks.
Richard Sherman's appeal hearing is scheduled for Dec. 14.
