Wilson trying to relocate Seattle’s late-game magic

For most of his career, the fourth quarter is where Russell Wilson has thrived. His 24 comebacks in the fourth quarter and overtime take up nearly an entire page of the Seahawks’ weekly game notes.

However, fourth-quarter mistakes by Wilson have overshadowed his lategame successes this year. And those mistakes are part of the reason Seattle is 4-5.

Seattle is 1-8 in its last nine games decided by one score or less. Over the past two seasons, Seattle is 5-11 in one-score games. That page in the Seahawks’ game notes detailing his comebacks has just three entries over those seasons.

“It goes back to finishing right. If we can make one or two plays here or there across the board — offensive, defensive, special teams, whatever it may be — we can turn that around really easily. That’s the great thing,” Wilson said. improved from the No. 2 position on Monday when the New York Giants (2-7) defeated the San Francisco 49ers (2-8). The Raiders carry a 1-8 record into Sunday’s game at the Arizona Cardinals.

Oakland has a fairly daunting schedule moving forward.

Two of the seven games are against the Kansas City Chiefs (9-1), although it’s possible some Chiefs starters may be rested in the Dec. 30 season finale . The Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2-1) await in Week 14. No remaining opponent has a worse current record than Arizona (2-7).

The Raiders have two other firstround picks, which they acquired when trading defensive end Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears (6-3) and wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys (4-5). Both teams won Sunday. The Cowboys’ pick is currently slotted at No. 13 overall. The Bears are on pace to make the playoffs, a scenario that’d place the selection anywhere between No. 21 and 32.
