In the game against the Las Vegas Raiders, fans saw Wilson stepping up. The team had the lead in the beginning, however, fell flat as the game moved ahead.
The fact that Russell Wilson played a really good game and we got the exact same result as we’ve been seeing should tell you all you need to know about who’s the problem in Denver.

Fans are mistaken in believing that the Broncos quarterback is not being affected by the losses.
There’s no use of potential, according to Russell Wilson
Something incredible happened at the start of the game. There was hope, there was sunshine. The Denver Broncos scored a touchdown on the first drive. That hasn’t happened before.
The head coach, Nathaniel Hackett, who is under a lot of pressure, gave the play-calling duties to Klint Kubiak. In the beginning, it looked like something positive was going to come out of the incompetent offense.

In the opening drive of the matchup, Denver covered 92 yards on seven plays. Therefore, they established a lead of 7-0. After that, the Orange Crush scored a field goal. Lead quarterback Russell Wilson went 3-3 for 64 yards. One could see that the team was delivering and using its potential to the max. The potential that the team had already possessed since Wilson joined. However, slowly, there was less delivery and only potential.
Denver had to heavily payback for the Melvin Gordon fumble at the Raiders’ three-yard line on the third down.
The former MVP QB said. “We have one of the best defenses in the world. We have really good potential on offense, but potential doesn’t mean anything. It just means we haven’t done it yet..” A serious and interesting question was posed after the game. Is the offense inefficient under the guidance of Nathaniel Hackett or Russell Wilson?
