Russell Wilson Seeking Record for Most QB Wins Through 3 Seasons

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will have a chance to break the record for most quarterback wins through three seasons (during the Super Bowl era) in Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, per ESPN Stats and Info.

Wilson memorably fell to the Seahawks in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, largely because of his 5-11 stature. He has since proven most of his detractors wrong, making two Pro Bowl appearances in his first two seasons, in addition to winning the Super Bowl last year.

The Seahawks topped the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14, tying Wilson with both Dan Marino and Matt Ryan for the record of 33 regular-season victories through three years. The third-year quarterback out of Wisconsin finished the game with 22 completions for 263 yards and two touchdowns on 37 pass attempts, adding 48 yards and another touchdown on the ground.

Wilson has been extremely impressive over his first three seasons, amassing 9,204 passing yards (18th all-time), 69 touchdown passes (seventh all-time) and a 98.9 passer rating (third all-time, min. 500 attempts), while throwing just 24 interceptions. He still has three regular-season games remaining in 2014, leaving him with plenty of opportunity to add to those statistics.

While the majority of the names atop the passing lists were great quarterbacks, most did/do not have the mobility of Wilson. Through 13 games this season, he has 727 rushing yards and five touchdowns, giving him 1,755 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground for his career. 

Only Cam Newton had more rushing yards (2,032) through three seasons than Wilson, leaving him in need of just 277 yards over the remainder of the season to set the record in that category as well.

If the Seahawks can win Sunday's contest against the 49ers, not only will the team have beaten a division foe and moved into prime playoff position, but also Wilson will get an early present by getting his name in the record books.
