Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer details the challenge of stopping Russell Wilson:

The Panthers had sacked Wilson, intercepted him and kept him from making any big plays.

“I’m not the Richard Sherman of the East, I’m the Josh Norman of the east,” Norman said. “I’m not nobody else. I told you before, I’m unique, I’m someone who’s different from any other cornerback in the league.”
