Watch: Russell Wilson emotional in postgame interview on Paul Allen night
Russell Wilson was emotional in his postgame interview with FOX reporter Kristina Pink after the Seattle Seahawks escaped with a 30-29 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.
The Rams had just missed a 44-yard field goal that would have won the game. It was an improbable finish and a bit of luck for Seattle to win. Wilson was tearful as he was interviewed. Wilson was moved because the team had a tribute to late team owner Paul Allen.

Allen, a co-founder of Microsoft, bought the Seahawks in 1996. He died last year at 65 due to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Wilson also posted a video on social media after the game where he gave tribute to Allen and said this win was for the late owner.

Wilson has been known to get emotional in postgame interviews before. He did the same thing after the NFC Championship Game four years ago.
