Russell Wilson since moving to the Broncos 

The Seahawks traded Russell Wilson to the Broncos in the offseason this spring. In return, the Seahawks got three players and multiple future draft picks. But who really won in this trade?

Wilson hasn’t really set the field on fire as the Broncos might have expected. The QB is 17th in the league in terms of passing yardage, having thrown just 2,369 yards of passes. He has just eight passing touchdowns to his name till Week 12, making him 28th in the league in that regard. Wilson has also thrown five pass interceptions this season so far. With him under center, the Broncos are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NFL.
