The Denver Broncos have officially made their worst-ever start to a season, according to the sports statistics site StatMuse. They are 0-2 in the season now, after extremely close losses in two opening games. The “Orange Crush” currently sits at the bottom of the AFC West and most pundits believe it’s already over for them. With dark clouds looming over the Denver sky, Dolphins could be the one to put the final nail in their coffin. Or will they?
While one more loss means they are effectively outside playoff contention, captain Russell Wilson isn’t the one to give up yet. Amid the disappointing status of the Broncos, the quarterback shared a meaningful message on Instagram.

Moving forward, every match is a new challenge for the Broncos. And the list starts with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are on a perfect run after two back-to-back wins and would do everything to make it 3-0. Against such a team, letting their guard down even for a second will be an invitation for damages beyond repair.
Amid the Broncos’ critical time, Russell’s message speaks volumes. Willpower and mindset can really make a difference. But it’s up to the team how well they can implement Russell’s message and fight back against the odds.
