Quarterback Russell Wilson spent two disappointing years in Denver before moving on to Pittsburgh. Now, some of his former teammates in Denver will have a chance to try and spoil his return to Mile High City when the Steelers visit in Week Two of the regular season. Wilson, who is currently the starting quarterback for the Steelers, will be the focus of attention in this matchup.
Broncos linebacker Jonas Griffith expressed his excitement for the game during an appearance on Denver Sports 104.3. He mentioned his eagerness to face Wilson and hopefully intercept a pass from him. Griffith sees this game as an opportunity to beat a respected organization like the Steelers and make a statement against their former quarterback.
When asked if he would taunt Wilson with a celebratory phrase if he gets a sack, Griffith laughed and answered in the negative. However, it is clear that the Broncos will be taking this game seriously due to their history with Wilson. The matchup between Wilson and his former team will undoubtedly add an extra layer of intensity to the game.
