Bears’ Smith: Seahawks’ Wilson not playing like a rookie

(MCT) — CHICAGO — The Bears did not have a problem handling second-year quarterback Christian Ponder on Sunday and now they prepare for a rookie quarterback in Russell Wilson with the Seahawks coming to Soldier Field.

The fourth-round draft pick from Wisconsin is on a roll after becoming the first rookie in NFL history to post a quarterback rating of 125 or better in three consecutive games. Wilson passed for only 585 total yards in wins over the Vikings and Jets and a loss to the Dolphins, but he threw seven touchdown passes and did not have an interception.
