Russell Wilsonis looking towards the future after a tough first season with the Denver Broncos — his wife,Ciara, is cheering him on.
On Sunday, the Broncos ended their season with five wins and 12 losses, far from what the Super Bowl-winning quarterback hoped for when he was traded to Denver from Seattle in March 2022.
“You’re trying to find that magic,' " Wilson told reporters after their last game of the season, against the Los Angeles Chargers, which Denver won 31-28.
“I know that I feel like I fell short of my own standards and my own level of expectations,” he added, perESPN. “I just want to recapture that.''
The tumultuous season also led to head coachNathaniel Hackett being firedthe day after Christmas.
“You tie up your cleats to be your best, and this year was not that,'' Wilson said on Sunday. “And my motivation is winning.''
On Monday, Wilson’s wife, Ciara, posted a lengthy message to herInstagrampage where she praised her husband for keeping his “faith, belief, and confidence” throughout the season in Denver.
“I don’t know exactly where to start with what I want to say, as this season has been a roller coaster ride like no other,” she wrote in the post, which included a mashup of video clips from the season. “I’ve watched you endure so much and keep your head up high through it all! Your faith, belief, and confidence never wavered!”
Photos in Ciara’s Instagram post also show their children — daughter Sienna Princess, 5, and sons Win, 2, and Future Zahir, 8, whom she shares with her ex, rapper Future.
