Russell Wilson’s efficient start under Sean Payton introduces more complicated question for 1-3 Broncos: What if this was the easy part?

After finally breaking out of a mid-game malaise and orchestrating a third-quarter touchdown drive, Russell Wilson stalked the visiting sideline at Soldier Field last weekend and delivered a message to his offense.

“They already know we’re coming back,” the Broncos quarterback told his teammates as Chicago, then leading 28-14, mustered just five yards before punting.

The Bears already knew and so did the Broncos.

Wilson went back to work, converting a trio of third downs capped by a 13-yard strike to Courtland Sutton for another touchdown.

The 12th-year quarterback had one more big play in him: a 47-yard field-flipper to Marvin Mims, Jr.
