“We Hurt Ourselves Tonight”: Russell Wilson Revisits Dramatic Loss vs. Patriots in Brutally Honest Words

The New England Patriots made a comeback in the game to pull off a convincing 23-26 victory over the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium. It’s natural for Wilson to be unhappy with the results, especially because his Orange Crush team fought till the end.

The Broncos needed to win this game to keep their playoff chances alive by more percentage. The 7-8 Broncos may not bag the AFC West title with the season-shattering loss. This also depends on the Kansas City Chiefs losing in all their games and the Broncos winning all of their own. The next matchup of the Broncos will be against the Los Angeles Chargers on December 31. It will probably take some time for the team to recover from Sunday’s 3-point loss.
