SEATTLE -- Everyone knew Russell Wilson could run and pass.But catch? The Seattle Seahawks quarterback showed he can do that, too.I think weve been trying to call that the past four or five years, Wilson said.Wilson threw for 272 yards and a touchdown, and caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Doug Baldwin as the Seahawks rolled past the Philadelphia Eagles 26-15 on Sunday.Wilson became the first quarterback in franchise history to catch a touchdown, a perfect end-around pass from Baldwin to Seattles athletic QB as he ran down the left sideline and dove into the end zone to give the Seahawks a 23-7 lead.Seattle had the call in the playbook for a few weeks and finally broke it out against the Eagles.Ive been begging for that play for the past two or three weeks. They doubted my arm ability, they doubted I could make the throw, so Im glad I got to prove them wrong, Baldwin said with a grin.Wilson was already causing headaches for the Eagles well before his TD catch. He scrambled and threw across his body to find Jimmy Graham on a 35-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the second quarter as Seattle built a 16-7 halftime lead that was more than enough. Rookie C.J. Prosise had a 72-yard touchdown run on Seattles fifth offensive play -- the longest run by a Seattle player since CenturyLink Field opened in 2002.Wilson completed 18 of 31 passes, with four of them going to Baldwin for 104 yards, along with the first touchdown pass of his career.I dont know who is playing better than him right now, Baldwin said of Wilson. Hes the best player in the league right now, by far.Philadelphia lost its fifth straight road game as rookie quarterback Carson Wentz was provided an education while facing one of the best defenses in the NFL.Wentz (23 of 45 for 218 yards) was good early, especially on Philadelphias first scoring driving that was capped by a 4-yard TD pass to Zach Ertz in the opening moments of the second quarter. Wentz then went 5 of 14 for 25 yards and two interceptions during the rest of the second and the third quarter.Philadelphias wide receivers didnt help Wentz, going mostly invisible against Seattles secondary. Until the early stages of the fourth quarter, Eagles wide receivers had the same amount of yards receiving combined as Wilson -- 15. Dorial Green-Beckham caught a 5-yard TD with 3:46 remaining.I thought overall its going to be a great learning experience for him, coming in here, a tough place, and trying to get a win, Philadelphia coach Doug Pederson said of Wentz. I thought he played OK.The game took a brutal toll with injuries. Philadelphia lost running back Ryan Mathews (knee) and Darren Sproles (ribs) before halftime, while Prosise injured his shoulder and cornerback DeShawn Shead hurt his hamstring in the first half. Prosise suffered a scapula injury, according to coach Pete Carroll, and will be out a while.The biggest loss could turn out to be Seattle safety Earl Thomas, who grabbed at his left hamstring in the third quarter running in coverage downfield on Wentzs pass that was intercepted by Richard Sherman. Thomas was examined on the sideline for several minutes and taken to the locker room.Carroll said the team didnt know the severity of Thomas injury.RAWLS RETURNSeattle had the services of running back Thomas Rawls for the first time since he suffered a hairline fracture of his right shin in Week 2. With Prosise injured, Rawls took the bulk of the carries in the second half and finished with 57 yards on 14 carries.My leg is fine. Please dont bring it up, Rawls said.The Seahawks didnt want to overwork Rawls in his first game back, so backup QB Trevone Boykin got two snaps at running back in the closing minutes. His one carry was for minus-5 yards.CENTURY MARKCarroll picked up the 100th regular season win of his career, becoming the 39th coach in NFL history to reach the milestone.CARELESS MISTAKESNelson Agholor had a first half to forget for Philadelphia.He failed to line up properly and was flagged for illegal formation on what would have been a 57-yard catch-and-run touchdown by Ertz. He also had a critical drop late in the half as he ran wide open across the middle after beating Sherman off the line of scrimmage.Hes trying his best, thats all you can ask for, Ertz said. Its not like he went out there that play and said `Im going to take a touchdown away. We made a lot of mistakes tonight.UP NEXTEagles: Philadelphia returns home to host Green Bay on Monday, Nov. 28.Seahawks: Seattle travels east for the third time in five games heading to Tampa Bay next Sunday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Dunk Wholesale China .

Nike Dunk Shoes Online . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. NEW YORK -- By all appearances, Sunday nights SummerSlam card looks to be one of the years deepest -- on par with a Wrestlemania lineup -- and thats with good reason. WWE has turned the entire weekend in Brooklyn into something much larger than just its second-biggest pay-per-view of the year.Theres also NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II on Saturday, with the WWEs third brand returning to the scene of the triumph at the Barclays Center that cemented its status as far more than a developmental territory. Theres also Monday Night Raw, making it three nights of live shows in Brooklyn for the second straight year.But thats not even it.There are superstar appearances and outings throughout New York City and beyond. One of the biggest was Fridays WWE 2K17 Kickoff Event, in which 2K Sports introduced the brand new WWE video game that hits stores in October with a blowout party, replete with custom-made police cruisers, a giant Suplex City sign and food trucks inside of a theater.A number of WWE superstars took the opportunity to walk the red carpet at this event, providing the perfect chance to gauge their thoughts heading into SummerSlam and NXT TakeOver.WWE womens champion?Sasha Banks?stole the show in 2015s inaugural NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn event against?Bayley? --?in a match that was widely regarded as one of the best of the year in all of?professional wrestling.All I can say is it was goose bumps, said Banks. To me, Brooklyn last year felt like my WrestleMania. I felt like I really had to show the world what The Boss was about. I knew walking in as NXT Champion, my main goal was to steal the show and show them that NXT was better than SummerSlam. We did a hell of a job, and its so crazy that it has been a year, but people talk about that match with Bayley every single day. Every fan that I meet always talks about the match -- and thats a dream come true. Ive always wanted to have a match like that where people were like, Thats what womens wrestling is all about.It has been onward and upward from there for Banks, who captured her WWE title on July 25 in another well-received match, against?Charlotte?on Raw. There are a lot of expectations to live up to?entering Sundays return match, but Banks is looking forward to being out in front of the Brooklyn crowd again.Im going to keep on rolling, Banks said. For Sunday, I feel really confident. I feel like Brooklyn is almost my second home. Theres something about this atmosphere. In that arena, the fans there are so crazy. Theyll let you know if you did something wrong -- thats for sure -- but I cannot wait for this Sunday.Speaking of upward momentum,?A.J. Styles?has been on quite the tear himself since his WWE debut in January at the Royal Rumble. He has had strong showings against some of the biggest talents the company has?to offer, including?Roman Reigns in a pair of WWE championship bouts and several opposite one of this generations biggest stars,?John Cena.Sunday marks the likely culmination of his feud with Cena.I expect nothing but the best, Style said. I think [the match] is going to be one of the best of the night, and these guys better have their working boots on because I dont come out there to do half-par stuff, I get after it. I know John Cena is the same way. I predict a very memorable match. When it comes to John, theres not really a challenge. Its very easy to get in there and have a very entertaining match with someone like John Cena.Cena is one of the most polarizing personalities in wrestling today, and that affects how matches play out in the ring. For Styles, its about embracing the challenge of pushing the crowd in one direction or the other.Everybody either hates or loves John Cena, theres no medium, said Styles. I feel like that Ive accomplished something when I get people to cheer for John Cena. I feel like Ive done something.The SummerSlam card is a big deal for Styles for reasons beyond his own match with Cena. His running buddies in?The Club,?Luke Gallows?and?Karl Anderson, have a match against?The New Day?for the?WWE?tag-team championships, and another former compatriot in New Japan Pro Wrestlings Bullet Club,?Finn Bálor, is facing off with?Seth Rollins?to determine the first WWE?Universal?champion.ddddddddddddIts unbelievable, said Styles. Who knew that something like this would happen? Timings everything. When youve got guys that can get after it, youve got to find ways to get them on the show. Its a special moment for all four of us.Styles believes the future may hold some epic showdowns between some, or all, of the former Bullet Club members.Youre talking about four guys that love to get after it, said Styles, And its only a matter of time before you see two of those guys in the same ring against each other.For a four-time WWE world champion like?Sheamus, there have been some ups-and-downs over the past few years of his career. Since he lost that championship to Reigns in December 2015, his alliance?with the League of Nations and a few other missteps left him somewhat languishing and trying to find his place on the Raw roster.After two weeks of showdowns with Cesaro, Raw general manager Mick Foley was inspired to show more of the bruising style of matches that the pair tends to put on, and set into motion a best-of-seven series between them. The first match of that series takes place Sunday, during the SummerSlam Kickoff pre-show.In an era of wrestling in which matches are often criticized for their brevity, it has been a long time since two wrestlers were given the opportunity to have anywhere from four to seven matches to tell a story and create the kind of art that professional wrestling is all about.Well, I feel, from a company standpoint, like theres a lot of trust that goes into this, said Sheamus, Because to have seven matches, or at least a best-of-seven, which probably goes 4-0 to me, theres a lot of confidence bestowed on both of us. People know we can go. People know we hit hard. We bring a lot of realism to our matches.The series offers both Sheamus and Cesaro an opportunity to take chances, in an effort to truly define their characters for years to come.Its just going to be a situation where every week is going to be different, and every week is going to be great, Sheamus said. The creative juices are going to be flowing. I think, ultimately, everyone is going to have a great old time watching a Swiss man and an Irishman beat the hell out of each other.Shinsuke Nakamura has reached the pinnacle of wrestling outside of the WWE, but for the moment, hes still on his way up the ranks within the company. He has put on quite the show in high-profile NXT showdowns with Bálor, Sami Zayn and Austin Aries, to name a few, and now finds himself headlining NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II against Samoa Joe.The native of Japan brings a style and charisma unlike anything the WWE Universe has seen.I love to wrestle fast-paced, said Nakamura. [I did] TakeOver Dallas, now Takeover Brooklyn. Im very excited.Saturday will be the first time Samoa Joe and Nakamura will square off for a crowd of more than a few hundred people, and the anticipation for this showdown is high -- for both NXT fans and Nakamura himself.Only for small house shows -- never wrestled him one-on-one on TV, said Nakamura, on his history with Samoa Joe. We were always in different companies. I am very excited for this moment.Its only a matter of time before Nakamura finds himself on Raw or SmackDown, and his high-profile match with Samoa Joe could go a long way towards getting him there.For some talents who have reached the level of success Nakamura has in his wrestling career, a stint in NXT might be seen as something of an insult. In his case thats not untrue because for as much as the 36-year-old has learned in the ring, he has made tremendous strides in areas even he may not have anticipated after moving to the United States.Being [around] a lot of young kids, they make me younger, said Nakamura. I am older than everybody there. I like to hang out on these road trips. I am able to find out about young Americans wrestling culture, and thats interesting for me. ' ' '
