In Blue 42 with Brock Huard, we discuss the enormity of Russell Wilson's season, what happens with Josh Gordon in Seattle and whether the defense can improve.  Danny admits he didn't see DK Metcalf being as involved as he has been this season, but he's ok with being wrong about it.  Finally, Russell Wilson is playing his best football and his mental approach is a huge reason why.

Russell Wilson once again plays nearly perfect, but they needed every single bit of it to get the win.  Is he the clear cut MVP?  It's a good race this season.  In what to watch for, we take a look at the Seahawks' acquisition of Josh Gordon, the Huskies loss to Utah and the Patriots loss to the Ravens.

The Seahawks have their last 'should win' game of the season when you look ahead to the rest of their schedule.  What do they need to do?  The Bucs have the 26th ranked pass defense and the 1st ranked run defense - should the defense scheme for that?  In What to Watch for, we take a look at the undefeated 49ers, the Huskies against Utah and Jaden McDaniels' debut.  John Clayton joins us for his Morning Drive and we try to determine if the 49ers have any flaws.
