The disastrous Broncos campaign 

The Broncos brought Russell Wilson in to fire up their offense. The franchise front office thought they got the missing piece of the puzzle to unlock the team’s potential. And why not, Wilson is NFL-proven and a Super Bowl champion QB. But it turned out to be a disaster, costing HC Nathaniel Hackett his job.

The Broncos have lost 11 of their fifteen games so far this season. One of the four wins came when Wilson was out due to a concussion. And he hasn’t looked like his own self since donning the Broncos jersey. 

Wilson is 16th in the league for passing yardage with 3,019 yards. He has only thrown 12 touchdown passes till week 16. His interceptions stand at nine. Can he turn his form around to silence his critics?
