The Cardinals kicked off their preseason with an 18-17 victory over Russell Wilson and the Broncos. Immediately after the game was over, Arizona’s official social media account trolled Denver’s quarterback.
The Cardinals posted an edited video that shows Wilson on an airplane working out. It was a nod to last year’s trip to London.
Wilson told reporters last October that he was exercising on the flight to London.
“I was on the plane, first two hours of the eight-hour flight here I was watching film, watching all the cutups and everything else, and then for the next four hours I was doing treatment on the plane,” Wilson said. “I was walking up and down the aisle, everybody else was knocked out, I was doing high knees, working my legs and everything else, making sure I was ready to rock. That was good. Then I fell asleep for one hour and I watched film for the rest. I felt good to go.”
Here’s the video of Wilson going viral:

The social media manager in Arizona deserves a raise after this video.
Wilson finished last night’s preseason game with 93 yards and one touchdown. He actually took a beating in the pocket for most of the first half.
