Wilson has yet to win the NFL's top award.
He has led the Seahawks to a 5-1 record this season, which is good for second-best in the NFC West behind the undefeated 49ers.
Wilson has thrown for 14 touchdowns without an interception and has three rushing touchdowns. He has completed 72.5% of his passes, which bests his career-high completion percentage of 68.1% from 2015.
