After a long stretch of simply managing the offense to victory, Russell Wilson exceeded 200 yards passing for just the second time since week four of the NFL regular season, and added a pair of touchdown passes to push the Denver Broncos to victory.
Now, he’ll need to build upon that performance and then some.
When the Broncos venture east to Detroit this weekend, they’ll be facing one of the top-10 rushing defenses in the league, a unit that surrenders on average less than 100 yards per game. Despite not having any eye-popping performances, the offense has relied heavily on Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, and Jaleel McLaughlin to control the clock and give the rejuvenated defense breathing room.
