Ciara paid tribute to Russell Wilson on his birthday last weekend. Based on her recent Instagram post, the "I Bet" singer is showing how she is standing by her man amid persistent "Blame Ciara" jokes from Seattle Seahawks fans.

"Happy Birthday to the most loving, caring and selfless man I know," Ciara wrote alongside Russell Wilson's photo during a game. "You Are Truly #1of1."

Prior to the post, the Seattle Seahawks player defended his girlfriend from football fans who have been blaming her for his team's losses.

NFL fanatics have been pointing out the star quarterback's alleged mediocre performance during recent games, which supposedly began ever since he and Ciara became a widely-followed celebrity power couple.

According to a report from Seattle PI, Russell Wilson simply brushed off the "Blame Ciara" jokes.

"No, I don't think so at all," he said about accusations that he has lost his focus on sports because of his high-profile relationship.

"People want to make it into something else, but for me I love the game of football."

"Nothing's changed. We just need to find ways to win," Russell Wilson added.

Aside from fans, even football insiders have been hinting about how Ciara seems to be distracting Russell Wilson. Per a from New York Post, even sports insiders such as ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Rotoworld senior football editor Evan Silva are speaking up on the issue.

"[Chris Mortensen] said there is some concern at [the] Seahawks [head quarters] that Russell Wilson 'changed his approach' this year and is becoming more of a 'celebrity [quarterback],'" Evan Silva tweeted recently.

The agent of fellow Seattle Seahawks player Marshawn Lynch was also not able to contain himself. During a recent match against Arizona Cardinals, the agent called out Russell Wilson in the now-deleted tweet.

"@DangeRussWilson pull you head out of your...," agent Doug Hendrickson posted.
