Just a few hours remain before another historic matchup in the league. Russell Wilson, the quarterback of the Denver Broncos, and Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, are gearing up for a head-to-head battle for the second time in NFL history. The showdown is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday, October 12. Before the matchup, both teams released their final injury reports, with each team welcoming back one of their formidable players.
The Orange Crush is excited to have one of their top running backs, Javonte Williams, back in action. The Red Sea, on the other hand, is bolstering their defense with the return of their star middle linebacker, Nick Bolton. However, it’s not just about the returning players; Wilson, ahead of the matchup, has shared his master plan to take down the reigning champions. But it seems that Mahomes isn’t backing down either, as he has issued a warning to Denver with an intriguing picture.
Mahomes proudly shows off his weapons!
Just a few hours ago, Patrick Mahomes posted a story on his Instagram. He shared a picture of his Chiefs teammates, with his best friend Travis Kelce at the front. It seems they are at the entrance, ready to step out from the hall onto the field. This photo offers an impressive glimpse of the prepared Chiefs, giving off the vibe of a reigning champion’s entry. Originally posted by Kelce, the players are proudly donning their jerseys.
With this photo, Mahomes indirectly issues a challenge to Sean Payton’s Broncos and their QB, Russell Wilson. Furthermore, Wilson issues a warning to his rival team. Kelce, who was initially listed as questionable due to his ankle injury, is now set to play in the game. This development could pose a threat to Wilson and the Broncos. The matchup is set to take place at the Chiefs’ home ground, GEHA Field, Arrowhead Stadium.
Some fans even speculate that Mahomes’ photo story might be a response to Wilson’s master plan against Mahomes, which he revealed in a press conference a couple of days ago.
Russell Wilson’s challenge for Patrick Mahomes?
In his latest press conference, $245 million Russell Wilson admitted that Patrick Mahomes and his team possess exceptional skills. He also said that they have the best talents, including their linebackers and Chris Jones. Further, he continued that for the Broncos to defeat the Chiefs, they “got to be physical and come in the game.”
The 34-year-old quarterback also expressed, “We got to be able to capitalize on our opportunities, know when they do match up…It’s going to be a game that’s going to go back and forth and we got to be the ones that end up on top.”. It seems Wilson and his team are determined to put an end to their string of defeats. The team plans to turn around their 1-4 record this season.
But can Wilson pull off a victory? Judging by their recent performances, it appears to be a challenging task to defeat the Chiefs. Furthermore, with the Chiefs holding a 15-0 NFL record against the Broncos, the odds seem to favor Mahomes’ team. However, Wilson emerged victorious the last time he faced off against Mahomes while with the Seattle Seahawks. With the inclusion of Javonte Williams, it appears that the Broncos have a golden opportunity to make history.
