Russell Wilson can join elite club of QBs in rare stat this season

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has beaten 30 NFL teams in his career. The only two teams he hasn’t beaten are the Los Angeles Chargers and his former team, the Seattle Seahawks.

Wilson will have had an opportunity to have beaten all 32 teams by the end of next season as the Broncos are scheduled to face the Seahawks in Seattle this fall and Denver takes on the division-rival Chargers twice a year every season.

If the Broncos defeat the Seahawks and win at least one of their games against the Chargers, Wilson will join an elite club of quarterbacks who share the stat.

The only other NFL QBs who have beaten all 32 teams are Tom Brady (who defeated the New England Patriots last year), Peyton Manning (who defeated the Indianapolis Colts in 2014) Brett Favre (who defeated the Green Bay Packers in 2009) and Drew Brees (in who defeated the San Diego Chargers in 2008).

Favre was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016, followed by Manning in 2021. Brees will be eligible for Canton in 2026 and Brady will be eligible for the Hall of Fame five years after he retires.

Wilson will aim to follow the lead of those QBs and defeat teams Nos. 31 and 32 this season.
