Russell Wilson Isn't Good Enough to Overcome Nathaniel Hackett, Broncos' Deficiencies

Murphy's Law should be renamed Russell Wilson's law after the Seahawks traded their all-time leading passer to the Denver Broncos this offseason and the quarterback's disastrous return to Seattle.

As the adage states, everything that could go wrong went wrong.

Wilson isn't the primary reason behind the Broncos' surprising 17-16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but the quarterback certainly wasn't enough to overcome all of the problems found in the performance. The mistakes made at every level are simply staggering.

Penalties, miscues, turnovers, red-zone impotence, clock-management issues and shoddy communication all played a part in the outcome.
