NFL early-season QB awards: Russell Wilson's historic start, Kyler Murray's weaving scrambles, more

The quarterback star of the 2020 NFL season thus far is hardly a new name. Here's the best thing I can say about Russell Wilson after the Seattle Seahawks' first two games: He has thrown almost as many touchdown passes (nine, a league high) as he has incompletions (11).

Against all odds, the campaign to "Let Russ Cook" has worked! In a dramatic departure from coach Pete Carroll's typical philosophy, the Seahawks have called the eighth-fewest designed running plays in the NFL (44). Wilson's 610 passing yards is a career high for the first two games of a season, and the Seahawks are 2-0 amid what is likely to be a fierce NFC West race.
