Even after one of the worst regular season losses of his career and a brutal start with his new team, the Broncos, Russell Wilson is still trying to make “let’s ride” happen.
Wilson debuted the catchphrase over the summer. It took off as a meme, rather than a true rallying cry, after the team posted a behind-the-scenes video of Wilson shooting a pump-up video for fans. The biggest takeaway about the new Denver star was his lack of charisma, for a franchise quarterback.
Fast forward to October, and Denver is 2–3, with some extremely rough close losses and an offense that has been stagnant at best. On Thursday, Wilson threw two brutal interceptions in the second half and missed a wide-open KJ Hamler on fourth-down in overtime, for what would have been a game-winning touchdown. Instead, he went to Courtland Sutton in the end zone, with the pass being broken up by Stephon Gilmore.
