Football is like stocks in the sense that a player’s value can go up or down in a given week. Here are three players whose “stocks” have sky-rocketed following NFL Week 14.
Russell Wilson
If old notions of Russell Wilson being a game manager still existed, they have all but been incinerated.
The Seahawks’ 35–6 victory over the Ravens in Week 14 solidifies a four-game stretch of mindbogglingly good proportions for the Seahawks’ signal-caller. In four games, Wilson compiled 16 total touchdowns—with at least 3 in each game—0 interceptions, a 70 percent completion percentage, and a passer rating of 145.9.
These numbers are unmatched in history from a variety of angles. There have been three other quarterbacks—Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers no less—who have scored at least three touchdowns with no interceptions in four consecutive games. However, as for four consecutive games with at least three passing touchdowns, a 70 percent completion rate, and no interceptions, Russell Wilson stands alone. Likewise, no other quarterback in history has had at least a 135 passer rating in four consecutive games.
