Russell Wilson becoming the punchline of the NFL was not on our Bingo card going into this season. That’s how bad it’s been for the Seahawks’ former franchise quarterback in Denver, though.

On top of everything else, Wilson is now dealing with a hamstring injury and his status for Sunday’s early morning London game is now in doubt. Wilson is apparently trying to force his way back early by doing what he does best: public cringe.
