It took one week for Denver Broncos fans — and everyone else — to turn on head coach Nathaniel Hackett after the bizarre ending to an awful loss.
And in Week 2 in a win against the Houston Texans that shouldn’t have been as close as it was, it got worse. Much, much worse. Yes, he’s a first-time head coach, but c’mon!
On top of that, cameras in the crowd at Mile High captured Broncos fans trolling Hackett by counting down with the play clock, given the coach’s struggles with that facet of making calls.
Yeah. Not great. Not great at all. Check out the videos:
Not good!

If you listen closely, you can hear #Broncos fans counting down the play clock starting at 10 in Denver after multiple issues getting a play off in time and burning all their timeouts. This is rough. pic.twitter.com/w6qf5fpgzz
