On the Richard Sherman podcast, Sherman talked about how Wilson was treated differently from the others. Here’s what he said:
He continued:
It’s an interesting take and it’s true that quarterbacks are treated a bit differently in the NFL. On and off the field, they are a protected species. On the field, they are protected a little more by the rules, mainly for player safety. Whereas franchises treat them a little differently in order to get the most out of them. It must be said that a little more leeway is granted to quarterbacks than other positions.
Russell Wilson is under pressure in Week 3
The Denver Broncos are 1-1 after two weeks of football. So far, new Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson hasn’t performed as many would have hoped for. As a result, he is under pressure to put on a show in Week 3 against a familiar opponent - the San Francisco 49ers.
Wilson has faced the 49ers every year in his career as he was part of the NFC West prior to his move to the Broncos. He’s had a lot of success against the 49ers and hopes to continue that. In 20 games against them, Russell Wilson is 16-4 and has a passer rating of 100.2. He’s thrown for 4,169 yards, 36 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in those games.
A positive result along with a dominant performance is expected from Wilson, who hopes to show the world that he is still a force to be reckoned with.
The San Francisco 49ers are currently the -1.5 favorites against the Denver Broncos for their Week 3 matchup. With both teams in need of a win, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
