Seattle (3-8) suffered their third consecutive defeat in Monday Night Football, beating Washington DC 17-15; Former Seahawks player Michael Robinson: “I think this is leading to divorce. Whether it’s Carroll’s departure or Wilson’s. ”

Seattle Seahawks suffered their third consecutive defeat in Monday Night Football, losing 17-15 to Washington DC, leaving them 3-8 in the season and dangerously close to being eliminated in the playoffs.

But after Monday’s defeat, Carroll appears to have put some blame on his quarterback, saying, “He needs to do more, we all need to do more.”

Seattle hasn’t won a game since Wilson returned from finger surgery – and has averaged just 28 points in his last three games. Wilson completed only 55.67% of passes this stretch, averaging 205 yards per game and making two touchdowns with the same number of interceptions.

When asked if Wilson looks like the old quarterback, Carroll said, “Well, the results don’t show that. The results and the way we play don’t show up. “

“The film doesn’t lie. We are missing something. I don’t know what to do about it, other than the fact that we have to keep fighting, keep trying to figure it out.

“I thought we had open guys today, with some chances, but unfortunately we didn’t.”

Wilson himself said after the game: “Now it is difficult, but at the same time I know what we are capable of.

“What we are capable of must manifest. We must achieve this. I don’t know any other way.

“I’m not the kind of guy who fails, doesn’t believe, and doesn’t give up; give up and give up. I’ll keep working on myself every day. This team too. This is what we’re going to make sure of.”
