Russell Wilson's struggles with Broncos one of NFL's big mysteries (Los Angeles Times)

Russell Wilson couldn't muster anything for the Denver Broncos in overtime against the Chargers. So what's going on with the nine-time Pro Bowl player?

The Broncos dropped to 2-4 and have lost three in a row. The Broncos had a 13-10 lead after two quarters but failed to pull away in the second half. It was Tranquill’s second sack of the night — you might say Denver’s offense was tranquilized — and the fourth by the Chargers. “They started to pick up the pressure for sure in the second half,” Broncos running back Latavius Murray said. That’s what Hackett seemed to be doing with Wilson to this point, keeping him in the pocket to go through his progressions and make those anticipatory throws. He came into Monday’s game with four touchdown passes, the fewest through five games in his career. As longtime quarterback expert Rick Neuheisel puts it, asking Wilson to stay put is like asking Rembrandt to paint between the lines. At his best, Wilson is like the Sundance Kid. “We’ve got to answer the call. This one started with such promise for the Broncos. The Chargers have done this before. The only time they led all night was on the final play, when

It starts with me as a coach, going to all the other coaches and then the players. We had some opportunities there, and we've got to execute at a higher level. The line, the receivers, the running backs, the defense, the defensive line, the linebackers and our safeties and corners, everybody was playing for each other and we felt like we could have won the game. Everyone knows the definition of insanity, and we can't keep doing the same things week in and week out and think things are going to change."

The short version is Wilson is still refusing to look at the middle part of the field – which makes him extremely vulnerable against two-safety sets – and he’s not doing nearly enough other things to make up for it. For 10 years, Seahawks fans saw Wilson perform at a high level, even with the flaws that have always been apparent in his game. Russell Wilson might really be broken.

It's becoming hard to watch Russell Wilson (The Seattle Times)

Wilson's devolution over the past month and a half has been astounding, writes columnist Matt Calkins. Even if Seahawks fans like his sudden downfall, ...

I think he’s facing uncharted territory psychologically, in the sense that he seems to be disliked by his former and current fan base. But right now, I think he’s having major regrets about leaving the Seahawks and placing himself in a situation that has led to endless mockery. The MRI has his status as day to day, and given all the dings he played through as a Seahawk, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that it’s hampering him. And passer rating doesn’t take into account the 20 sacks Wilson has taken, which is the sixth-most in the league. Before his first game back in Seattle, I wrote that Wilson was worthy of boos after he forced his way out despite having multiple years left on his ree-dunk-u-lously lucrative contract. He was booed ruthlessly in his return to Seattle in Week 1. The grass hasn’t been greener in Denver for Wilson. Wilson’s devolution over the past month and a half has been astounding. But what if he graduated from improbable and just pulled off the impossible? Moreover, his decision-making and coverage reads likely earned him a film-room tongue-lashing regardless of his superstar status. Some of the comebacks he’s engineered are awe-inspiring. Some of the plays he’s kept alive are astonishing.

Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said Tuesday that Russell Wilson is "day-to-day" after the quarterback had an MRI on his injured hamstring.

He's a competitor -- he wants to be out there helping with his team.'' [Latavius Murray](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/15920/latavius-murray), who was in his first game with the Broncos, finished with 66 yards rushing on 15 carries and had 14 of his carries in the second half. I always like those awkward conversations and always want to be up front and honest with everybody. Hackett said the hamstring injury influenced "a little bit there'' how he called plays for Wilson for the remainder of the fourth quarter and into overtime Monday. He was 3-of-11 for 15 yards over the final three quarters and overtime against the Chargers. "He's an ultimate competitor -- he's going to do everything in his power to get out on that field,'' Hackett said. Wilson is 30th among the league's starters in completion percentage (58.6) and has thrown five touchdown passes in six games. Wilson's ability to be healthy enough to help the Broncos try to cure some of their ills on offense will be part of the decision about how much he practices this week or if he plays Sunday. just trying to find a way to win the game.''
