SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Runnin’ Russell Wilson and the Broncos’ No. 1 offense got off to a much better start in their second preseason game.The Broncos starting quarterback engineered just one drive — a 13-play, 49-yard march that ended in a field goal after getting beset by a pair of penalties — before backup Jarrett Stidham got some run with the top unit Saturday night against San Francisco.“I thought he looked sharp,” coach Sean Payton said of his quarterback.That’s been the going rate the past two weeks for Wilson.“I thought protection, we were better,” Payton said. “I thought Russ did a good job of tucking it a few times.
