During trying times, it helps to fix your heart on something greater than you. And football players are no exception. Experiencing wins and losses regularly calls for mental toughness and some players take refuge in God to help them weather the storms of life. Coach Prime is not secretive about his religious beliefs. And his positivity is helping other players deal with the lows in life.

Russell Wilson joins other superstar QBs such as Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs and Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills in putting up a poor show in their opening matches.

A heartbreaking defeat for the Broncos

The Denver Broncos were off to a poor start this season. Losing by 1 point to the Las Vegas Raiders was heartbreaking for Broncos fans. The Broncos’ QB dominated the first half, completing passes and scoring 13 points. However, things went down south in the second half with the Broncos only adding 3 points. What can be more crushing than losing? Losing by just 1 point, the Raiders managed to score 17 points during the game.

In the interaction with the media after the game, Russell Wilson admitted that one or two plays more and they could have won the game. He promised, “We are excited about who we are and where we’re going to be. I think the biggest thing is to continue to push, got another opportunity next week. Gotta come back ready to swing and go get a win.“

The Denver Broncos will face off against the Washington Commanders on 18th September. For the time being, however, to cope with this defeat, he has turned to a higher power.

The saving grace of God

Be it a win or a loss in life or on the field, Colorado Buffaloes’ coach, Deion Sanders, has always placed his trust in God. Coach Prime has had a tough life. He had to get his two toes amputated, which he described as one of the most painful periods of his time. But this also brought him closer to his Almighty.

Now, taking a leaf out of Sander’s book, Russell Wilson has placed his faith in God to carry him through this defeat. In an Instagram story, he wrote, “You have to be willing to climb the mountain without seeing the top. Trust in God and keep moving forward, no matter what!!🙏”

Broncos fans are hoping his prayers do not go unanswered and their star QB bounces back in the next game.
