the seahawks beat him to the punch. shanahan says wilson is a guy he thinks highly of and was on his short list. instead the redskins picked up another rookie, kirk cousins who played a big role in two games during the winning streak to end the season. >> there's another wilson with a lot riding on this game. that's because he used to play for the seahawks. corner back josh wilson was drafted by the seahawks in 2007. he spent three seasons there. in that time, he led the team in interceptions. a trade to the redskins means a return home for wilson who played in high school and tarred for the terps in college. that makes sunday's game so much sweeter. >> he's being from here. growing up here, i still remember in '91 we won the super bowl. rooting for my favorite kicker, chip low miller. i'm as excited as a player to be in this position but more as a fan of the redskins. >> love that blast from the past. i remember those guys. football is in wilson's blood. his father tim wilson played eight seasons with the houston oiler

one reason the seahawks are coming to fedex field as three-point favorites. i think they're one of the more consistent teams tlav played this year. they do a great job not allowing points, not allowing teams to move the ball. they don't give up plays. they force turnovers. and they' been physical. they're not afraid to get in your face and talk to you and hit you in the mouth. you definitely have to respect a team that isn't a front-runner. that will get after it and do the little things right. and seattle does that. >> cooley has been to the playoffs twice and lost to seattle both times. it's redskins, playoff addition. getting ready for sunday's big game. colin klein take on the high-flying oregon ducks. chip kelly up for several nfl head coaching jobs. this might help his cause. opening kickoff, deanthony thomas, taking it to the house. he's about 5'8", 170 pounds. are you serious? the game just started. under 30 seconds to go in the first half. marcus marriotta hits kenyon barner. the ducks leading 32-17 early in the fourth quarter. all right, how about s
