Wilson has led the Seahawks to a 5-1 record thanks to a 72.5 percent completion rate, a league-high 10.5 adjusted yards per pass attempt and a 14-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Seattle is currently second in the NFC West behind the 5-0 San Francisco 49ers.

The eighth-year pro also ranks first in Football Outsiders' DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average) metric among quarterbacks with at least 90 pass attempts.
