Russell Wilson Connects With Broncos Rookie WR on Massive 60-Yard TD

The Denver Broncos are rolling at Empower Field at Mile High, currently holding a multi-score lead over the Washington Commanders. Russell Wilson finished the first quarter with a perfect quarterback rating, and a big reason for that was his connection with Broncos' rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr.

At the bottom of the first quarter, Wilson hit Mims for a 60-yard touchdown pass, which was the Broncos' second touchdown of the quarter.

The perfect moon ball from Russ! He finds the rookie Marvin Mims for a TD.

As I'm writing this, Wilson struck gold again on the same drive that Mims' 53-yard reception set up, connecting with Broncos wideout Brandon Johnson for a 16-yard touchdown. It's not even halftime, and the Broncos are up 21-3.

Wilson currently has 157 yards passing on five completions (six attempts) with two touchdowns. Mims has two receptions for 113 yards and that glorious score.

Jerry, who?
