He could have broken Manning's record. He said in the post game that he was about to throw it to break the record, but that it wasn't him (i.e., he's not about records) so he ran it in.

How many did Ben Rothlisberger get? Wasn't it 14 and a superbowl?

Rapistburger went to the SB his second year, not his rookie year.

Roethlisberger went 13-0 as a rookie in 2004.

Since we have a record thread already, I'll go ahead and show the final totals here on Wilson and how he compares to some of the names I came up with (sorted by number of TD's) ...
[tdo=10]Best Seasons by a Rookie QB All Time (Sorted by TD’s Thrown) [Final 2012 Stats][/tdo]
*Montana started 1 game in 1979, so while he wasn’t technically a rookie, 1980 was his first season as a starter. Same thing goes for Tom Brady, as he started 1 game in 2000. Warren Moon technically was a rookie by NFL standards, but he had played 6 seasons in the CFL and powered the Edmonton Eskimos to 5 Grey Cup victories.
Technically, the record books will have Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning tied for most TD's. However, check out his interception numbers and the number of attempts it took him to get to 26 TD's. Fairly impressive body of work there by Wilson. That table also highlights just how special of a rookie QB class this truly is ... and just how much of a passing league this has become.
