Super Bowl champion compares 'rare' Peyton Manning to struggling Russell Wilson

Former NFL safety T.J. Ward knows how to win a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos and he expressed dismay for Russell Wilson following a poor debut season for the experienced quarterback.

The 2022 edition of the iconic franchise has fallen short of lofty preseason expectations, with rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett fired before the end of the season while Wilson has struggled since his high-profile trade from the Seattle Seahawks. A Super Bowl champion in Seattle, Wilson has looked like a shell of himself following his arrival in Colorado.

The Broncos had hoped to compete with the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC West division title but they have stuttered, stagnated and ultimately collapsed to a 4-12 record heading into their final game against the playoff-bound Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. It is a far cry from the championship-laden days of John Elway or Peyton Manning.
