Here is the box score: Redskins vs. Seahawks - Box Score - November 5, 2017 - ESPN

Wilson had a 55% completion percentage against our defense and 2 interceptions while his running game averaged 5.3 yards per carry.

Kirk had a 67% completion rating against their defense, zero interceptions while our running game averaged 2.2 yards per carry.

Despite a lesser run game, lesser defense, and more injuries Kirk is playing better (or at least as good) and is shouldering more of the burden of the offense.

Wilson has long stretches where he is just awful. Case in point was the first 3 quarters against the Redskins this year. Comparing a process-oriented, read the field QB like Cousins to an improviser like Wilson is difficult. That said, both are the best players on their respective offenses.
