The Lead
Russell Wilson is very close to adding his name to an exclusive group of quarterbacks in NFL history, as John Breech points out in an article for CBS Sports.
Wilson, through his 10 years in the NFL, has beaten 30 of the league’s 32 teams. Only four other quarterbacks in NFL history have taken down all 32: Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Tom Brady.
Denver’s new quarterback could become the fifth if the Broncos are able to topple the Seahawks (Week 1) and the Chargers (Weeks 6 or 18). If he does so, he’d be the youngest to accomplish that feat.
“The one notable aspect of Wilson joining the club is that he would be the youngest player to ever gain membership,” Breech wrote. “Wilson could join the club at age 33 or 34. … The youngest QB to join the club was Manning, who did it at age 38.”
Of course, it’s easier said than done. Broncos fans likely remember that Manning beat his 32nd team with a 2014 win over the Colts but could have done it a year earlier. That, of course, was Manning’s first game against his former team, and the Broncos fell 39-33 on the road.
