Russell Wilson takes a breath, leads Broncos past Jaguars

play

After a week in London filled with questions about Nathaniel Hackett's future and what was wrong with Russell Wilson, it was time to look into his quarterback's eyes.

After the Broncos' offense, which entered Sunday last in the league in scoring, opened the game with a lackluster three-and-out, Wilson ended the team's second possession.

"First quarter, that was a hot start,'' he said, tongue firmly planted in cheek. We throw a pick on the second pass play when we came out. People want to make things happen instead of trying to do too much.

I told Russell to just do what he does. As we came into the game, we were able to make some efficient plays for him, which made him feel good.

With less than two minutes left in the game, the Broncos drove 80 yards for the winning touchdown to end their four-game losing streak.

The Broncos scored more than 16 points for the second time this season, as Wilson was 18-of-30 for 252 yards and a touchdown. They had never topped 16 points in a victory. Wilson led the game-winning drive that was capped off by Latavius Murray's 2-yard touchdown run.

The offense's slow start has been attributed to the fact that players were pressing at times. He said after the game that it was the first time he had taken his quarterback's temperature after a mistake.

"We hadn't had something like that happen to us before, so we just went up to him and said, 'Take what they give you, don't force it,''" he said. He had a big grin on his face. You learn a lot about a quarterback when they make a mistake. Some quarterbacks have gone into the tank and said, "I got that out of the way" He made some plays after recovering and coming back.

He ran for a 49-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Broncos held Lawrence to 133 passing yards and two turnovers, including one in the end zone by K'Waun Williams that sealed the win.

Dre'Mont Jones said it was good to see the offense hold it down. They aided us more than we aided them.
