Russell Wilson wasn’t going to let Jason Myers decide this one.
The Seahawks quarterback was brilliant throughout the game, and led his team to a first-possession-of-overtime victory over the Buccaneers.
Wilson hit Jacob Hollister for a 10-yard touchdown to win the game 40-34 in overtime, which stood up on review to trigger a celebration that was equal parts joy and relief.
The Seahawks (7-2) were in position to win in regulation, but Myers missed a 40-yard field goal as time expired. That was Myers’ third miss of the day, along with a field goal and an extra point.
Wilson, on the other hand, was brilliant throughout the day completing 29-of-43 passes for 378 yards and five touchdowns.

He had to be sharp, to overcome a mostly error-free day from Jameis Winston and the Bucs (2-6).
