When the Denver Broncos signed Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks, the general consensus was that he will help the franchise reach the next level. But 14 Weeks into the 2022 regular season, it has hardly been the case. The QB left the game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a blow to his head. And then, the fans spotted him on a gambling table in a casino as the Broncos prepare to host the Arizona Cardinals this week.
Wilson has failed to inspire the Broncos’ offense, and the franchise is out of playoff contention.
