Russell Wilson’s backup got into a skirmish with a Broncos offensive lineman after sack, because of course

Russell Wilson Broncos Russ Dalton Risner Brett Rypien CBS NFL

The Denver Broncos are a mess this year and that mess was on full display during Sunday’s nationally televised blowout (51-14) loss to the defending champions Los Angeles Rams.

We had Russell Wilson talking to teammates with a football next to his mouth, which was weird.

And we also had Wilson’s backup, Brett Rypien, getting into skirmish with Broncos offensive lineman Dalton Risner after Wilson was sacked in the third quarter.

For real, Rypien was upset and he went over and defended Wilson’s honor (or something) and ended up being shoved pretty good by Risner.

This video from the sideline shows it pretty good:

Here’s how it looked on the CBS broadcast:

Feels like Risner might not win that Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.

NFL fans had reactions.
