It’s no secret that Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos have struggled a lot so far this season. The team has the worst scoring offense in the entire NFL, averaging just 14.7 points per game. And even though he remains shocking optimistic, Wilson is having by far the worst year of his career and the team is hurting as a result.
Russell Wilson has been so bad this season that he’s actually being nearly outpaced by other quarterbacks who have barely played this year. As PointsBet Sportsbook pointed out on Twitter, that list even includes New York Jets backup quarterback Joe Flacco.
Russell Wilson only has two more TD passes this season than Joe Flacco…

“Russell Wilson only has two more TD passes this season than Joe Flacco… Joe Flacco hasn’t played since Week 3,” PointsBet Sportsbook pointed out in a Tweet.
This news comes after yet another Denver Broncos loss as the team fell 22-16 to the Las Vegas Raiders in a game where Wilson once again failed to throw a single touchdown pass.
Wilson’s struggles have been tough to watch this season, and the NFL world had plenty to say about the news that Flacco’s number are comparable to Wilson’s.
The Broncos gave Russell Wilson a five year $242.5 million extension.

It’s certainly not looking good for Wilson or the Broncos this season. And it seems like everyone is going to keep rubbing salt in the wound.
