This season has been quite challenging for Russell Wilson. Despite hoping for a good start under the guidance of Sean Payton, the Broncos suffered two consecutive losses. To make matters worse, the quarterback was even benched for the last two games against the Chargers and Raiders. However, despite the difficult situation, Wilson remains determined to pursue his ambitions.

During the Christmas clash, the Broncos experienced a devastating 26-23 loss to the Patriots. As a result, the HC, Sean Payton has decided to change the roster by adding Jarret Stidham for their final two games in the hopes that he can lead the team to victory. However, Russell is determined to stay positive and will continue to give his best effort to the team.
