Seattle quarterback RUSSELL WILSON passed for 378 yards with five touchdowns and zero interceptions for a 133.7 rating in the Seahawks‘ 40-34 overtime victory against Tampa Bay. Wilson has 90 wins, including the postseason, since entering the NFL in 2012, tied with BEN ROETHLISBERGER (90) for the most wins by a quarterback, including the postseason, in his first eight seasons in the Super Bowl era.
Tampa Bay wide receiver MIKE EVANS had 12 receptions for 180 yards and a touchdown in Week 9. He joins AJ GREEN (2016) and WES WELKER (2011) as the only players with at least eight receptions, 150 receiving yards and a touchdown in three of his team’s first eight games of a season in NFL history.
Denver quarterback BRANDON ALLEN, making his first career start, threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to rookie tight end NOAH FANT in the Broncos‘ 24-19 win against Cleveland. Allen is the first quarterback with a touchdown pass of at least 75 yards in his first career start since ROBERT GRIFFIN III (88-yard touchdown pass on September 9, 2012). Fant is the first rookie tight end with a touchdown reception of at least 75 yards since TYJI ARMSTRONG on December 6, 1992 (81-yard touchdown catch).
