‘I Would Be Booing Myself,’ Broncos Coach Admits After Win

After their beloved team lost in Week 1, Denver Broncos fans were fuming at their new coach, Nathaniel Hackett, who had made a baffling decision at the end of a Monday night loss in Seattle.

So how were they feeling after a Week 2 win on Sunday over the Houston Texans? Well, many of them were still fuming.

Hackett, hired by Denver in January after three years as Green Bay’s offensive coordinator, once again puzzled fans with play calling that cost the team a drive — though not the game.

With four minutes remaining in the third quarter, the Broncos trailed the Texans by 9-6 and faced a third-and-1 at the Texans 35.
