RG3 was the only rookie QB to lead his team to victory in week four and he did so in dramatic fashion, taking his team down the field in the final seconds to win the game. It was probably his best perfomance of the season so far and it came against the best defense he has faced.

RG3 and Russell Wilson are the only two rookie passers to have their team at .500 or better, though Wilson and the Seahawks got an assist from a scab referee who made a terrible call in the end zone on Monday night of week 3 to give Seattle a victory they did not earn. RG3 won Offensive Rookie of the Month recognition for the month of September and his numbers confirm that he has clearly outplayed every rookie QB in the NFL so far.
