Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was hurt in the fourth quarter of Denver's 19-16 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at Sofi Stadium.
Wilson said that he had to throw away the one he was on and that it made him better in the fourth quarter. Trying to find a way to win the game.
Wilson was treated after the game and will be evaluated Tuesday. As of Monday night, it was thought that he would get an exam as well.
The Broncos have scored 16 or fewer points in five of their six games, and had minus-9 net passing yards in the second half against the Bolts.
Wilson was 15-of-28 for188 yards and a touchdown, but 173 of those passing yards came in the first half. In the second half, he was 3-of-11.
Wilson was treated for a partial muscle tear near his right shoulder after the Broncos' Week 4 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Broncos lost to the Indianapolis Colts on October 6 and then to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.
Wilson said that the only thing that mattered was that we won. There's no excuse for it, we have to find a way to win.
The Broncos traded five picks, including two first-round selections and two second-round picks, to Seattle to get Wilson. Wilson was signed to a five-year contract extension just before the start of the season.
The Broncos are now one of the league's lowest scoring teams and rank near the bottom in red zone offense, goal to go situations and third down conversions.
The Broncos coach said it was very disappointing. It starts with me as a coach, then all of the other coaches, and finally to the players." The players need to be more alert. We need to come up with better plays and execute at a higher level.
Wilson has thrown for less than 200 yards in three of the Broncos' six games, and he only threw for 300 yards in the season opener. In the third quarter, the Broncos have only scored five points, two of which came from a safety.
The Broncos had one possession in the third quarter.
In overtime, the Broncos' offense opened with a three-and-out, and then after their defense stopped the Bolts to get the ball back at their own 31, Denver responded with another three-and-out. Wilson threw incompletions on third-down plays in overtime.
It could have been better in the second half. It isn't good enough. We need to be better, we need to play sharper, and we need to find ways to score. I thought we should have won that game.
