Maybe the Seahawks knew something about Russell Wilson that the Broncos did not. While it’s still too early to judge, through five games it’s beginning to look like Seattle fleeced Denver in the trade. Just as his former backup Geno Smith has suddenly somehow become one of the league’s best quarterbacks, Wilson’s game seems to be falling apart and his confidence along with it.
Wilson laid another egg for the Broncos in last night’s primetime loss to the Colts, going 21/39 for 274 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He also took four more sacks, bringing his season total to 16.
As has been known to happen when a star player has a bad game, Wilson is now getting it from Twitter. Here’s how NFL fans are reacting.
