Voters on NFL.com have made their choice. Quarterback Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks is the Pepsi Max NFL Rookie of the Week for games played on November 8-12, the NFL announced today. Wilson completed 12-of-19 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks’ 28-7 victory over the New York Jets.
