“Terrible”: Football Fans Join Broncos Nation as $245,000,000 Russell Wilson Faces Insult

What could be more devastating than losing back-to-back games and facing insults simultaneously? Well, who could know better than Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson? This season, the Orange Crush team holds a losing record of 1-4 so far. While the reasons behind the troubled franchise are visible, unsurprisingly, it’s the squad’s QB who is facing the wrath!

The NFL brought its Week 5 games on Sunday. Among the many surprising results, such as the New England Patriots‘ blowout loss, the Broncos also suffered another defeat, adding to their list of losses this season. As usual, QB Russell Wilson was targeted by Broncos fans, especially after he received praise from an NFL reporter.

This NFL reporter thinks Russell Wilson is a good QB!

After the Broncos’ consecutive losses, except one against the Chicago Bears, the Broncos’ fans are venting their frustration on the quarterback. Most recently, the Orange team lost to the New York Jets with a score of 21-31. Following that defeat, Broncos fans directed their anger towards the 34-year-old Russell Wilson.

Notably, an NFL reporter, Connor Hughes, praised Wilson, writing, “Wow. Are my ears deceiving me? #Broncos fans are booing Russell Wilson after he’s sack-fumbled on third down. Weird to do that to a player who’s so, so good.” As he praised $245 million QB Wilson on social media, little did he know that he would become the target of the hatred directed towards the QB.

The Broncos nation expressed their anger and animosity towards both the NFL reporter and the quarterback simultaneously.

Fans demanded a replacement for Russell Wilson?

The Jets provided the Broncos with an opportunity to stage a comeback victory by committing turnovers. However, their defense ensured that Denver’s attempt would result in disappointment. With less than a minute left in the game, defensive end Quincy Williams ripped the ball out of Denver quarterback Russell Wilson’s hands during a sack. Safety Bryce Hall recovered the fumble and returned it 39 yards for a score that sealed a win for the Jets. As a result, Broncos fans became incensed and began directing their criticism toward the quarterback. When reporter Hughes urged fans not to do so, they turned their anger toward him as well, alongside Wilson.

One Broncos fan wrote, “The Jets defense is very good. Don’t try to defend your bad take. I have had plenty of bad ones.”

Another person commented, “Nice try pal the jinx didn’t hold.”

Someone else criticized Wilson, saying, “Russell Wilson has been absolutely horrific today. TERRIBLE…”

Another individual remarked, “Russell Wilson currently has only 11 passing yards to wide receivers.”

Someone else suggested, “If Russell Wilson literally will not throw the football, put in someone who will.”

A Wilson detractor claimed, “He’s one of the most overrated horrendous QBs in the league.”

After all the frustration post-Sunday’s showdown, it’s high time that Russell Wilson will need to prove his worth in future games, even if not during the remainder of this season. The Broncos’ next matchup will be against the strong Kansas City Chiefs on October 12.
