Russell Wilson
The former Wolfpack signal caller had a solid day, leading his Seattle Seahawks to a 26-0 win over the visiting Chicago Bears. Wilson completed 20 of his 30 passing attempts for 235 yards and one touchdown for a stellar 101.4 passer rating. Wilson also rushed for 28 yards on six carries.
Wilson really put the game out of reach in the third quarter, throwing a 30-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jimmy Graham to put Seattle up 20-0. Wilson also had a big play to set up the field goal that put the Seahawks up 6-0 at the half, throwing a 15-yard pass to wide receiver Jermaine Kearse to set up Seattle at the goal line.
Philip Rivers
Rivers has had better performances than the one had Sunday as his Chargers lost 31-14 on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. He completed 21-of-34 passes for 246 yards, a touchdown and an interception for an 81.2 passer rating. Rivers was sacked four times, costing San Diego 28 yards, and was replaced by backup quarterback Kellen Clemens in the fourth quarter with the game out of reach.
Rivers’ lone touchdown pass made the game close, as he threw a 34-yard pass to wide receiver Keenan Allen to pull the Chargers within three at the end of the first half, making the score 10-7. However, he and the rest of the San Diego offense was ultimately unable to keep up with the Vikings’ second-half push.
Stephen Hauschka
Hauschka had a good day for Seattle, converting on 4-of-4 field goals and 2-of-2 extra point attempts, scoring 14 of the Seahawks’ 26 points. Hauschka’s longest field goal of the day was a 48-yarder that put Seattle up 26-0 in the fourth quarter. He was perfect on field goal attempts of more than 40 yards, also connecting on a 45-yarder earlier in the fourth to put the Seahawks up 23-0.
Hauschka was instrumental in building Seattle’s 6-0 halftime lead, opening the scoring in the first quarter with a 31-yarder to put his team up 3-0, and giving the Seahawks a 6-0 lead at the half by hitting a 21-yarder just before halftime.
