Denver Broncos fans booing Russell Wilson and team’s offense during ‘Sunday Night Football’

NFL: San Francisco 49ers at Denver Broncos

Back in Week 2, Denver Broncos fans let Russell Wilson and Co. have it during an otherwise brutal home opener against the Houston Texans. While Denver did come away with the win, Wilson’s struggles continued in that game.

It wasn’t much different through the first three quarters Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Denver’s offense put up all of three points in the first 45 minutes. The Broncos had gained 170 total yards while racking up a mere nine first downs. That included a whopping seven three-and-outs.

As the Broncos’ offense was struggling in the third quarter, fans inside Empower Field at Mile High were heard booing the Broncos in a big way. It was an ugly scene.

Through the first three quarters, Wilson had completed 15-of-25 passes for 126 yards without a touchdown or an interception. He was also sacked four times.
