The Denver Broncos haven't had a winning season since
2016 nor a postseason appearance since 2015. They hope
to change all that with the acquisition of Russell Wilson.
Indeed, in the 33-year-old Cincinnati native, whom they
acquired from the Seattle Seahawks for three players and a
boatload of draft picks in March, the Broncos are getting
a signal caller with a Super Bowl title, nine Pro Bowl
appearances and a laundry list of other passing laurels to
his name. And not that long ago, he was among the elite
quarterbacks in the game, posting numbers among the
leaders year after year.
Last season, however, was not one of them. Sidelined for
three games for a finger injury to his throwing hand that
required surgery, Wilson's stats were off slightly but not
precipitously. He completed 259 of 400 passes for 3,133
yards and 25 touchdowns against six interceptions for a
54.7 QBR and a 103.1 rating. He also rushed for another
183 yards. All respectable
numbers but nowhere near
the standard he's set for
himself.
He'll be in charge of
new head coach Nathaniel
Hackett's wide-open
offense when he returns to
Lumen Field to lead the
Broncos against his old
team, the Seahawks, in a
season-opening game airing
Monday, Sept. 12, on ABC.
Broncos hope Wilson brings
winning pedigree to Denver
