It looked like the Denver Broncos were trying hard to get on the naughty list of Santa Claus. The Los Angeles Rams played one of their easiest games and Denver looked like the worst team in the league. Russell Wilson won’t ever forget the 2022 Christmas Eve. It was an abysmal loss where the starting QB crushed whatever momentum the team had built in recent weeks. Wilson’s unforgivable mistakes are making rounds on the internet in the form of memes. Understandably, the Broncos fans won’t let him get away from his mistakes.
Many would agree that 34 is not the age when a shot-caller weathers away. In fact, it was the experience that Denver wanted to buy from DangeRuss. Therefore, they offered him an extension contract worth more than $240 million. However, the former Super Bowl champion ended up being a meme. A figure who was roasted by Patrick Star on Nickelodeon’s special holiday-themed stream.

Russ went from winning a Super Bowl ring in 2014 to getting sidelined in the Broncos-Rams game.
He started the game poorly right after Los Angeles took an early lead of 3-0. On the third offensive play of the contest and two plays into the ensuing drive, Wilson threw a pick. His second interception went to his former teammate, Bobby Wagner. Patrick Star gave a play-by-play breakdown of the bad play.
Patrick Star really has a future as a play-by-play announcer. 🤩

“That’s not what he wanted to cook.” Star was not the only one to make fun of the unfortunate QB’s mistake. The team’s overall incompetence brought waves of insults and roasts on social media. Fans found it difficult to believe how a losing team stooped lower than before.
He and Hacket are making Carr and McDaniels look like Brady and Belichick

Russ can’t block and be a QB at the same time. That pocket collapses so quick. And receivers are pretty garbage but yea it’s all on Russ 🤦🏽♂️

When this contract was given,,,, all I could do was 🤣….. said he wasn't worth this ludicrous money. A good quarterback but not a superb quarterback.

No! Your general manager needs to be fired for paying him that much!

His third pick in the second half ended a give-play drive. It set up another L.A. field goal. Although Denver found the end zone two drives early in the fourth quarter, it was of no use. The damage had already been done.

The Broncos’ defense, otherwise good, made Baker Mayfield look like the best quarterback. The Rams QB threw two touchdowns and was 18-of-20 for 185 yards by halftime. He hasn’t been a good player throughout the season. But the Broncos bad performance made him look like a star.
