Russell Wilson ran for 122 yards Monday night in the Seahawks' 27-17 win over the Redskins. But the yards he ran for on this play, prior to making the game-clinching pass, aren't part of that total.

The blue lines represent the action on the play before the completion of the pass by Wilson, and his target, Marshawn Lynch.
