4. Can the Patriots contain dual-threat Wilson?
It’s one thing for the Patriots linebackers to narrow in on slowing down Marshawn Lynch, but it’s the versatile Russell Wilson that might be the biggest threat to ruin their game. Wilson is the offense’s catalyst, providing the spark as both a runner and a passer outside of the pocket that keeps defenses on their toes.
The Patriots have yet to face a quarterback as mobile as Wilson this season. The closest player to Wilson’s skill-set would be Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, and that’s not even a fair comparison. Belichick and his defensive coaches will have their hands full trying to muster up a game plan to keep both Lynch and Wilson under wraps.
