Andrew Luck highlights big week for NFL rookie QBs

We'll look closely at every snap from the NFL's rookie quarterbacks later in the week, break it all down and rank their performances.

For now, we're just going to show you highlights. Glorious highlights, because we have them. And there were plenty to choose from with this rookie class Sunday.

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III didn't win, but he showed a terrific combination of electric playmaking and decision-making for a second consecutive week.

It's amazing what a little help from your defense and running game will do. (And a matchup against a talent-poor Oakland Raiders secondary.) Ryan Tannehill had a day to remember with 200 yards, a score and his first NFL victory with the Miami Dolphins.

After the worst statistical debut for any rookie quarterback, Cleveland Browns signal-caller Brandon Weeden set another record: most passing yards by a Browns rookie with 322. At this rate of improvement, Weeden will be NFL MVP soon.

This was the type of Russell Wilson game that Pete Carroll envisioned: 15-of-20 passing, 151 yards and a score. Wilson kept the clock moving in a dominating second half and let his Seattle Seahawks teammates do the rest against the Dallas Cowboys.
