After a disastrous 2022 season and a poor start to this season, the Denver Broncos now have a real shot at making the playoffs.
They have risen from the ashes thanks to a resurgent Russell Wilson, the future Hall of Fame quarterback who looked washed last year.
He has put up solid numbers this season, and as a result, Denver has won six of their last seven games.
Off the field, Wilson added another accomplishment when he announced the latest addition to his family: Amora Princess Wilson.

This is the third child Wilson has had with his wife, Ciara.
On the field, Wilson delivered the Broncos their latest win, a 24-7 victory over the spiraling Los Angeles Chargers, by throwing for 224 yards and two touchdown passes.
While he may not get any MVP consideration, he does have a 67.2 percent completion rate and has thrown for 2,609 yards and 23 touchdowns through 13 games.
In addition, his 315 rushing yards and 24.2 rushing yards per game are his highest marks in both categories since the 2020 season, and many would say that 2020 campaign was his last great one.
Denver hasn’t been winning with a ton of grace and artistry, but by grinding out a 7-6 record, they’re clearly in the hunt for an AFC playoff spot.
In fact, they’re just one game behind the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, who have lost three of their last four games and clearly have real issues.
The Broncos may not do much in the playoffs if they get there, but it would be a shot in the arm for a franchise that has struggled since winning the Super Bowl in the 2015 season.
