The Denver Broncos endured a season of mockery and memes last year, and the beginning of this season did little to change that narrative.
Russell Wilson, in particular, faced criticism even when performing well, with fans and analysts suggesting it was time for a change under coach Sean Payton.
However, the Broncos have since become the league’s hottest team, thanks in large part to Wilson’s exceptional performance.
Broncos beat reporter Zac Stevens recently highlighted Wilson’s impressive statistics, showcasing his top-five rankings in passing touchdowns (19), touchdown percentage (6.4), interception percentage (1.3), passer rating (104.3), fourth-quarter comebacks (4), and game-winning drives (4).
Last season, the Broncos heavily relied on their defense, while the offense struggled to gain momentum. Wilson faced challenges in developing chemistry with his wide receivers, encountering difficulties in progressions and accurate passes.
This narrative has shifted significantly this season. Despite Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton not reaching the anticipated elite receiver status, Wilson has successfully distributed the ball and maintained consistent offensive performance.
The Broncos are now gearing up for their most challenging test, hosting the league’s top defensive unit, the Cleveland Browns, on Sunday. This matchup presents an opportunity for Wilson and the Broncos to make a statement, disproving any notions that he is past his prime.”
