On a freezing cold day in Minneapolis in 2016, Russell Wilson and the Seahawks trailed the Vikings 9–0 in the fourth quarter of a wild-card round playoff game. Seattle was driving into Minnesota territory when disaster struck.
Seahawks center Patrick Lewis sailed a snap over Wilson’s shoulder. The quarterback wasn’t ready for it. Wilson sprinted back 10 yards and slid to his knees to retrieve the ball. But when he did, he realized he still had a few yards between him and the nearest defender, so he picked himself up 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage and began to scramble.
