Quarterback Russell Wilson, who spent two disappointing years in Denver before moving on to Pittsburgh, will be the focus of attention when the Steelers visit in Week Two of the regular season. Now, some of his former teammates in Denver are looking forward to trying and spoil his return to Mile High City.
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 as both sides look to prove their worth on the field.
