Good news for the Denver Broncos: Russell Wilson didn’t look all that bad in their preseason opener.
While going 7-for-13 vs. the Arizona Cardinals is nothing to brag about, he did go for 93 yards and one score, taking one sack as well.
Even so, the Broncos failed to close out the deal and lost the game, and the Cardinals’ PR team didn’t waste a second making fun of Wilson.
As soon as the game ended, they posted a clip of the lady on the plane claiming the passenger next to her wasn’t human and then showing Wilson working out in the aisle.

For those who lack context, last season, a story of Wilson working out throughout a whole team flight and doing drills in the plane’s aisles made the rounds around the league, with most people making fun of the quarterback for being a little extra with the grind.
That extra work didn’t exactly pay off for Wilson last season, as he had the worst numbers of his career and the Broncos were perhaps the most disappointing team in the league.
There will be no more room for excuses this time around, though, as they brought Sean Payton back from retirement to fix the mess Nathaniel Hackett left.
Payton claimed that he’s going to do everything differently from the previous regime, and the Broncos have more than enough resources on both ends of the gridiron to be a playoff contender next season.
But for now, they will have to take this loss face up, and the Cardinals’ PR team deserves a raise.
