The culmination of Russell Wilson’s first touchdown drive Sunday against Miami looked familiar.
Eventually, it went as a mere footnote under a South Florida avalanche of points. All the same, it’s instructive of the veteran quarterback’s play early in his partnership with coach Sean Payton.
Up to this point on Denver’s second possession, Wilson had completed four of five passes for 49 yards. An in-rhythm dart to Jerry Jeudy for 15 on the first play of the drive. Then a slant to Courtland Sutton for 11. Then to Javonte Williams for 17. A shallow cross to Sutton before a tight-window, contested incompletion to Chris Manhertz in the end zone.
