The Chiefs will go into the game as firm favorites. Can Wilson and the Broncos conjure up some magic to prove his critics wrong when he takes on Mahomes and Co.?

The Seattle Seahawks traded Russell Wilson to the Broncos after the 2021 season. The Broncos signed him in exchange for multiple future draft picks to become a force in their division, which is ruled by the Chiefs. But Wilson has had a rough start to life in Denver.
Wilson has played 10 games so far this season but hasn’t really lit up the league as the Broncos would have expected. The QB has thrown 2,369 yards so far in the current season with 198 completions. His pass completion rate stands at 58.9%. Wilson has thrown eight touchdown passes so far, but the opposing defenses have intercepted five of his 336 pass attempts.
