Seahawks QB Russell Wilson one win away from NFL record
With Seattle’s 41-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson registered his 21st win since his NFL debut last season. The league record for most wins in a quarterback’s first two years is 22.
And the Hawks have five games remaining in the 2013 regular season.
Now tied with Dolphins legend Dan Marino for the second-most wins in NFL history through a quarterback’s first two seasons, Wilson still has plenty of chances to break (and surpass) the record. He is just one victory away from tying Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, who holds the 22-win record.
“Every day my goal is, can I be better than I was yesterday?” Wilson said after Sunday’s win. “If I continue to have that mindset — that fresh mindset of, ‘today is a new beginning’ — I think that really helps me. There’s something that I’m always trying to work on in terms of my craft and to continue to elevate my game. …
“Because I want to be great one day. And to do that, it’s an every-day thing. That’s what I tell my guys: ‘It’s an every-day thing.’ To be a champion, it’s one of those things that, when you wake up in the morning, that’s all you think about.”
The 10-1 Seahawks have their bye this weekend, and will return to the field Dec. 2 for a “Monday Night Football” matchup at CenturyLink Field with Drew Brees and the 8-2 New Orleans Saints — the second-best team in the NFC by record. Seattle then faces the 49ers in San Francisco, the Giants in New York, the Arizona Cardinals in Seattle and the St. Louis Rams for the regular-season finale at home.
Wilson is already squarely in the discussion for NFL MVP this season, up there with front-runners Brees and Peyton Manning. After Wilson’s masterful performance Sunday, when he earned a passer rating of 151.4 (out of 158.3), the second-year Seattle quarterback passed San Diego’s Philip Rivers and now has the NFL’s fourth-best passer rating through 11 weeks this season at 105.1.
