DENVER (AP) Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton already has a career-high seven touchdown catches just halfway through the season, highlighted by his at Buffalo, but he'd rather Ru sell Wilson get his flowers for the bounce-back year he's having.Sutton posted a on social media, inviting everyone who bashed the Broncos QB for his atrocious 2022 season to say they're sorry.Not so fast, retorted Mark Schlereth, the television and radio commentator who spent 12 years in the NFL. He said on his morning show on Denver's KKFN-FM Jahlil Okafor Jersey that Ru sell Wilson was garbage last year, and anyone who tells you otherwise is baloney.Wilson threw for 16 touchdowns with 11 interceptions while going 4-11 last year following the blockbuster trade with Seattle that cost Denver a bevy of players and premium draft picks. ADVERTISEMENT He has 18 TD throws and just four interceptions this season, and the Broncos (4-5) under coach Sean Payton have won an games heading into their Sunday night showdown against Joshua Dobbs and the , who are on a heater of their own.The Vikings have won five in a row despite Kirk Cousins tearing his right Achilles tendon against the Packers last month and Dobbs getting pre sed into duty almost as soon as he arrived from Arizona via a deadline deal.Wilson, who has six TD throws and no interceptions during Denver's winning streak, demurred when asked about Sutton's apology appeal, saying he's only concerned about winning more games and playing great football Paul Reed Jersey ."I know who I am, and I dont need anybodys approval," Wilson said. "Its my 12th year and ... if I can have 20 years and make 19 of them great then I wouldn't complain.Maybe standing up for Wilson will earn Sutton a few more targets, and if that's the case, perhaps rookie Marvin Mims Jr. should try buttering him up, too.Mims has been dynamite on special teams, earning the NFL Player of the Week honor for his 75 combined return yards in at Buffalo on Monday night. But he's been a ghost on offense ever since a three-game stretch in September when he tallied 233 yards on just seven receptions, a whopping 33.3 yards per catch.Just a few weeks ago, this matchup had all the makings of a snoozer.No Josh Richardson Jersey more."Theyre playing good ball. Theyre not turning the ball over. Thats kind of both of the stories of our season, Vikings center Garrett Bradbury said.Not mi sing a beat during the quarterback transition "means that Josh is doing a good job and the coaches are doing a good job," Bradbury said. Everyones just trying to raise their level of play.Dobbs credited his quick acclimation to all those around him willing to put in extra work "whether its through the communication we have in pa sing in the locker room, in the film room or getting extra reps on the practice field."RISNER HOMECOMINGGuard Dalton Risner joined the Vikings in late September after finding no takers in free agency following four solid seasons with Denver.Its been awesome to have Dalton," tight end T.J. Hockenson said. "Hes a good personality to have in the locker room. Hes always upbeat. Hes always smiling. Hes always in here joking with guys. You notice it when youre out there. Hes the first guy picking you up always from the bottom of the pile. Hes always around the ball. Those are big things. Its just leadership.PLAYING THROUGH PAINHockenson leads NFL tight ends Maurice Cheeks Jersey with 681 receiving yards, giving Dobbs a vital underneath option with Justin Jefferson sidelined by a hamstring injury. Hockenson also has been hurt, playing through injured ribs the last two weeks.You just dont think about it, I gue s, Hockenson said.Jefferson is in the second week of a three-week window to return from injured reserve and was a limited participant in practice as the Vikings carefully ramp up the intensity of his work. Im just trying to make sure that it doesnt come back, said Jefferson, who has mi sed every game of the Vikings' winning streak.JACKSON BACK IN ACTIONDenver safety Kareem Jackson returned this week from his for violating the league's unnece sary roughne s rules and will return to the starting lineup with P.J. Locke sidelined by a sprained ankle.I told him we're on a little bit of a roll. Don't me s anything up now, cracked Payton. Jackson has been fined for four illegal hits this season totaling $89,670 and his two-game banishment cost him $279,000 in salary.Jackson said he can't guarantee he won't run afoul of the rules again.The hits that I have I feel are normal football plays, he said while promising to lower his target zone from here on out.He said he Al Horford Jersey 's gotten no clarity from the NFL's rules enforcers, so I'm unsure how I play the game going forward. Because I'm going to be in those situations two to three times every week.___AP Sports Writer Dave Campbell contributed to this report.___AP NFL:
