They’re a handful.”Wilson doesn’t hold the ball as long in Payton’s ground-based offense that calls for quick releases. Wilson completed 27 of 34 passes — but for just 177 yards against the Raiders. The Broncos’ new backfield duo of Javonte Williams and Samaje Perine was efficient but not explosive.
