Russell Wilson Named Week 2 NFC Offensive Player of the Week
Former NC State Quarterback Russell Wilson was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in Week 2 against the Steelers. This marks the 8th time that Wilson has earned the weekly honor, which is a Seahawks record.
In Sunday’s win at Pittsburgh, Wilson completed 29 of 35 attempts for 300 yards and three touchdowns, giving him a passer rating of 131.0. It was the 22nd game of Wilson’s career with three or more touchdowns and no interceptions, and he has thrown two or more without an interception 45 times, the most in NFL history for a quarterback in his first eight years—and Wilson has 14 more games to add to that total in Year 8. A week earlier, Wilson was an efficient 14 of 20 for 195 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. (Seahawks)
