6 Things I Learned From Week 9 of the NFL Season
Ben Roethlisberger threw for six touchdowns again, but how strong has his play really been?

Russell Wilson Owners Should Be Worried

On the opposite side of the spectrum sits Russell Wilson, who's been pretty miserable over the last two weeks against bottom-tiered defenses.

The Seahawks escaped their Week 8 game in Charlotte with a win, but the offense had trouble moving the ball. In fact, their Adjusted (for strength of schedule) NEP went from 43.89 to 39.55, proving they played below expectation offensively in the game.

Many figured they'd bounce back in Week 9, and while they got a victory, the offense wasn't exactly pretty against the 20th-ranked defense in the league. Especially Wilson, who actually finished the game with a -2.21 Passing NEP. If not for Marshawn Lynch's performance, Seattle may not have won that game.

It's a situation to monitor with a not-so-easy upcoming schedule for Seattle. Wilson has proven to have a great ceiling this year but, unfortunately, we're seeing that his floor could be pretty low as well.
