Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning's 2011 seasons had one thing in common: neither of them played in an NFL game that year. In 2012 and 2013 though, neither of them missed a game and now they will face one another in the Super Bowl.
Now as we look through the statistics of these two star QB's since 2012, many major story-lines are reflected. First and foremost, you see the 10,136 passing yards accrued by Peyton Manning to go along with his 92 touchdown passes. But then as you go farther into this analysis you see the 29 interceptions by Manning that sit 10 picks higher than those of Russell Wilson who has thrown just 19 interceptions since 2012. But perhaps the most thrilling of these statistical comparisons for Wilson fans is the rushing column. Wilson who, despite throwing for nearly 4,000 fewer yards than Manning has out rushed his Denver counterpart by 1,053 yards and has a serious proficiency when saving plays that would otherwise result in a sack or even a turnover.
