Shortly after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII, ESPN was ready with a new "This is SportsCenter" promo. This ran in the half-hour after the Big Game. It had the Broncos mascot holding a Russell Wilson Seahawks jersey as if it was ready to adorn it after losing a bet.

Stuart Scott is there for good measure.

Good on ESPN for putting this up quickly.
