Are the Denver Broncos back? Very possible. Now, what about Russell Wilson? It sure looks like it, and according to NFL Network’s Peter Schrager, he thinks new Broncos head coach Sean Payton has officially fixed Wilson’s issues. After a disastrous 1-5 start, Wilson has spearheaded Denver on a four-game winning streak, including a come-from-behind 21-20 victory against the Minnesota Vikings this past Sunday night.
In those four wins, Wilson‘s play elevated the Broncos to victories over perennial playoff teams such as the Green Bay Packers, Kansas City Chiefs, and the Buffalo Bills to go along with defeating the Vikings. In the winning streak, Wilson has thrown for 760 yards, seven touchdowns, and no interceptions on a 73 percent pass completion. Schrager commended Wilson’s ability to become consistent again as a way that indicates that he is “back.”

Is Russell Wilson back to his Seattle form? Only you can decide that. But what is objective is that his stats indicate that his 19 passing touchdowns have him tied for third place in the NFL. That shows he’s perhaps ready to lead the Broncos on a playoff push.
