The Denver Broncos are in a tailspin to start the 2022 season and Russell Wilson is catching plenty of blame. He showed up and immediately signed a five-year extension, establishing himself as the franchise man in Denver. Unfortunately, his team is off to a 2-4 start.Russell Wilson's situation gets even worse this week now that he is ruled out for a matchup against the upstart New York Jets. That leaves Brett Rypien as the starter, seemingly dooming the Broncos. However, one fan thinks this may create an opening for the Broncos to actually win.Rodney@lukatroncic4@AdamSchefter broncos might finally win a game now391@AdamSchefter broncos might finally win a game nowThis may be seen as a harsh take, but it is one shared by others as well.
