‘We built a game plan around him for this week to be able to be creative and do different things to be able to protect him and at the same time take advantage of different things the defense might give us,’ Denver head coach told reporters.
‘Russell is always going to think he can go, that’s what you love about the guy,’ Hackett said about Wilson trying to get healthy for last week’s game.
‘For us we wanted to be sure we gave him time – time to be able to get his mind right, his body right, everything. Being out here watching him throw, watching him move in the pocket, you felt a lot more comfortable than last week.’
Wilson has thrown just five touchdowns in six games this season, and has completed a meager 58.6 percent of his passes.
