Pete Carroll, the Seahawks' head coach, practically encouraged the Seattle fans to jeer Wilson before the Monday Night Football game.

Carroll acknowledged following Seattle's victory that the fans' response to Wilson was not unexpected.

Sherman made it clear before the game's start that Wilson was under a lot of pressure to perform well and guide the Broncos to victory.

Sherman said that the pressure to return to Seattle increased after Wilson signed his new, $242 million deal extension.
