He lead the team in prayer, I expect him to get flack for that too!Wilson's strange behavior, from standing in the middle of the field with his eyes closed pre-game to exercising on flights, has come under fire recently. When he was winning games in Seattle, it didn't matter all that much how he acted. But after struggling in Denver, he came under fire for those same things. Thanks to a key win, he's earned a bit of a break, but the question remains whether he will be able to keep it up for the rest of the season.How did Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars?While it did result in a win, Russell Wilson and company didn't play perfect football. An interception was the result of their first drive and they struggled through most of the first half.The defense kept them alive and sealed the victory with two key interceptions. The first came with the Jaguars on the one-yard line and threatening to score. The other came immediately after the Broncos' go-ahead touchdown and effectively sealed the win.New York Jets v Denver BroncosRussell Wilson wasn't perfect, but recording 252 yards and a touchdown against one interception, especially with a win, is an improvement. The competition wasn't stiff as the loss puts the Jaguars at 2-6, but a win is a win. The Broncos have struggled to get those, so they'll take one in any form.We will see if they can put together a string of victories in the coming weeks.
