Bill Belichick thinks Russell Wilson is underrated

The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks play each other this Sunday, probably my favorite game this week. When asked about said game, head coach Bill Belichick had nothing but good things to say about his opposing quarterback Russell Wilson, including that he's "underrated."

Bill Belichick on Russell Wilson: "Honestly, I think he's in a way maybe underrated by the media or the fans, I don't know. I don't really see anybody better than this player."

I'm not sure if it's just me or what, but something like this (something pleasant) coming out of Belichick's mouth always catches me off guard. Of course, Belichick is hardly ever wrong, as well.

Wilson has won two out of three matchups with the Patriots -- the one loss being in the Super Bowl.
