Badgers in the NFL: Week 6

Melvin Gordon gets benched, Rachad Wildgoose continues to impress and Jake Ferguson scores his first career touchdown.

  • Russell Wilson, QB (Broncos): Wilson had another shaky performance on Monday night, throwing for just 188 yards and one touchdown in a Broncos’ loss. It was revealed after the game that the eleven-year veteran is dealing with a hamstring injury, but Wilson has been a massive disappointment thus far in his first year in Denver.
  • Jonathan Taylor, RB (Colts): Taylor was inactive on Sunday for the second straight week due to an ankle injury.
  • Melvin Gordon, RB (Broncos): It was a rough Monday night for Gordon, who rushed for just eight yards on three carries before being benched in the second half for newly-signed veteran Latavius Murray. The eight-year veteran has struggled with fumbles this season and head coach Nathaniel Hackett opted for the safer option in a close game against the Chargers...Gordon is a name to watch out for as the trade deadline nears.
