Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos are visiting Wilson’s former team, the Seattle Seahawks, on “Monday Night Football”.

The former Wisconsin QB ended a decade with the Seahawks as the franchise’s leader in passing yards and passing touchdowns. However, when leaving the locker room, he was greeted with a chorus of boos from the Lumen Field crowd.

After the Broncos fell behind 10-3, though, Wilson quieted the Seahawks’ loud, boisterous “12s” with a 67-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Jeudy to the game with 5-and-a-half minutes to go before halftime. Seattle starter Geno Smith led the Seahawks down the field to put the Seahawks back in front, with the Broncos pulling within 17-13 after a late-quarter drive fizzled out.

Wilson finished the 1st half 10-of-15 for 206 yards and the 1 touchdown pass to Jeudy, while being sacked twice. Even with a half of football under his belt, seeing the Seahawks great in Broncos colors is still quite an adjustment.

Here’s the reaction to Wilson’s play across social media.
