After a disastrous 2022 season, the Broncos were looking for the silver lining and made all the necessary changes. However, even with a new HC, Sean Payton at the helm, the Orange Crush met with a defeat for the second time this season. All eyes are on Russell Wilson, and what was expected to be a Pro Bowl-worthy season has regrettably fallen short, leaving both critics and fans disillusioned.

Prominent sports analyst Colin Cowherd recently took to his podcast to voice his concerns about the 9x Pro Bowler. He not only highlighted Wilson’s $245 million contract with the team but also critiqued his declining performance.

Colin takes a jab at Russell Wilson!

Wilson endured a challenging game, enduring seven sacks and even throwing an interception. He concluded with 18 completions out of 32 attempts, accumulating 308 yards and three touchdowns, a commendable but far from the team’s desired standard. He came agonizingly close to erasing the 8-point lead held by the Commanders with a breathtaking 50-yard Hail Mary pass. Unfortunately, the two-point conversion attempt ended as an incomplete just as the final seconds ticked away.

A brief excerpt from Colin’s podcast surfaced on X/Twitter, where he didn’t hold back in critiquing Wilson. He began by remarking that the 9x Pro Bowler, at 34, plays as if he were much older. Colin also voiced his concerns, suggesting the Broncos could encounter significant turbulence this season. He didn’t mince words about Wilson’s contract, labeling it as “punitive.”

Colin then pointed out the contrasting personalities of the coach and quarterback duo, which has made a few headlines in the last few months. He concluded the video by predicting tougher times ahead for the team due to their challenging schedule. Despite holding an 18-point lead, the Orange Crush ultimately fell short by the end of the last quarter, marking their two consecutive losses.

Commanders’ breathtaking upset over the Broncos!

For most of the first half, the Commanders could only muster a field goal, while the Broncos surged ahead with a total of 21 points. In the waning minutes, the Commanders orchestrated a thrilling touchdown drive and added a field goal, narrowing the lead to just 7 points. Sam Howell truly shone in the second half, adding a 30-yard touchdown pass to his impressive tally. Meanwhile, RB Brian Robinson Jr. stole the spotlight with two touchdown runs, one from 2 yards and another from 15 yards.

In the game’s climactic moment, Brandon Johnson hauled in Wilson’s Hail Mary pass for a spectacular 50-yard touchdown. Regrettably, their hopes for an equalizer fell short after failing to make the 2-point conversion. As the Orange Crush prepares to face the Dolphins next week, the excitement is palpable. Can they mount a triumphant comeback? Share your thoughts in the comments!
