Six days across the pond can produce clarity for an American football franchise in trouble.
First Wilson hit KJ Hamler on a high-arcing, 47-yard bomb up the sideline. Later, he turned a third-and-5 into a first down with a 10-yard scramble, bum hamstring and all.
Wilson nearly threw an interception on the game’s first play, then took a third-down sack. He followed that up with a poorly thrown ball for Courtland Sutton that was intercepted and set up Jacksonville’s opening touchdown. Russell Wilson of the Denver Broncos uses his boots to get a gain against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the fourth quarter of Denver’s 21-17 win at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022.
Safety Justin Simmons’ second-quarter interception in the end zone not only snuffed out a first-and-goal at the 1 situation for the Jaguars, but it got his frustrated unit, which had committed four penalties, off the hook just as it was fair to wonder whether the too-often-hung-out-to-dry group might just be ready to head home.
