At least Russell Wilson has a sense of humor.

Just seconds into Wednesday night’s ESPY Awards, host Joel McHale cracked a joke about Wilson’s Super Bowl-losing interception against the New England Patriots — or, more accurately, the Seattle Seahawks’ decision to throw the ball from inside the 5-yard line rather than handing it to All-Pro running back Marshawn Lynch.

And Wilson, to his credit, was a good sport about it all.

Our money would have been on a Deflategate joke.
