Wilson had a solid outing in the win, as he recorded the team's lone interception of Tyler Shough. The 26-year-old has now compiled 61 tackles (33 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and an interception across the first seven games of the campaign. He will look to keep producing during next week's matchup against the Browns.
