It doesn’t have to be said that Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos need some major rebuilding and revamping. However, if you’re the Broncos quarterback, then it’s highly possible that you will detail your comeback plan in detail. After the failure of the ‘Let’s ride’ campaign in the 2022 season, Danger Russ’ mind is set on the next season with a possible new tagline.
After Broncos team owner and CEO Greg Penner fired head coach Nathaniel Hackett last week after an abysmal 4-11 season, it’s time for Russell Wilson to pull up his socks. The $245 million quarterback wished he could do more for Hackett and plans to turn things around with thorough examination.
“My expectations are higher than anyone else’s. You know, I believe in myself at the highest level. And the mission is still the Super Bowl. I mean, it’s not going to happen this year, but the mission remains the same. Bring Super Bowls to Denver,” Russell Wilson said about making changes in the remaining games.

Can Russell Wilson show up for Denver’s interim HC Jerry Rosburg?
Former Baltimore Ravens special teams head coach and Super Bowl XLVII winner Jerry Rosburg took the Broncos’ interim head coach position this week. And Russell Wilson’s dismal form this season isn’t going to help Rosburg a lot. Wilson is having the worst season of his nine-year celebrated career. While Russ has career-low touchdowns and passer rating numbers this season, his sacks have been his career’s highest.
