Seahawks QB Russell Wilson earns NFC Offensive Player of the Month

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was just named the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season and now, for his efforts throughout September, has earned the honor of the NFC Player of the Month. This marks the first time in his career Wilson has been awarded the title.

Throughout three games played, Wilson has completed 79 of 103 passes attempted for 925 yards and 14 touchdowns. He has a 76.7 completion percentage and a passer rating of 139 after just one interception on the year. Wilson has also managed 14 carries for 90 yards on the ground to average 6.4 yards per carry.

With his 14 passing touchdowns, Wilson has set a new NFL record for the most thrown through the first three games of the season. He now also holds the record for passing for four or more touchdowns in each of his first three games this year.

Wilson looks to continue his record-setting ways in Miami this Sunday and hopefully finally earn himself the Most Valuable Player votes he deserves.
