|---|---|---|
| Russell Wilson | 14 | 2020 |
| Patrick Mahomes | 13 | 2018 |
| Peyton Manning | 12 | 2013 |
Wilson has thrown for at least four touchdowns in each of his team's first three games. He is also the only quarterback in NFL history to accomplish that feat, per NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano.
The 31-year-old's play has put him in the early MVP discussion. Wilson has tossed 14 touchdowns and just one interception thus far.
The Seahawks have yet to lose this season, going 3-0 to start the year. Seattle will take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 4.
