Russell Wilson fires back at Eli Manning.

During the Denver Broncos Sunday Night Football game, Eli Manning on ManningCast made a joke at Russell Wilson‘s expense by saying the team should have paid their punter $250 million instead of Russell.  It was a funny quip and a good burn considering the how Russell Wilson and the Broncos offense is struggling to start out the season. Although they currently are playing winning football, at least from a record perspective. The Broncos are currently 2-1.

However Russell Wilson didn’t just shoot back, he brought some stats with him.  Russell shot back with a roast of his own to Eli Manning this week.  When asked about Eli’s comments he said,

“You talking about Chad Powers? I’m 3-0 against Chad Powers.”

Watch Russell react to Eli’s comment below:

In case you are unaware of the Chad Powers reference, you missed one of the funniest undercover skits in a while as Eli Manning transformed himself into a Penn State college walk-on named Chad Powers. The entire  video is pretty funny,, so if you haven’t seen it you won’t regret taking a look here.

Russell is not the kind of guy who easily forgets about comments like the one Eli made. He’ll find a way to use it, he always plays best with a chip on his shoulder.

Russell 1, Chad Powers 0.
