The Denver Broncos defeated the Green Bay Packers 19-17 on Sunday afternoon. After the game, the biggest talking points were safety Kareem Jackson being ejected and cornerback Pat Surtain not being awarded an interception after simultaneous possession in the end zone.
Here’s a sampling of how Twitter/X reacted.

On the CBS broadcast, Gene Steratore said, in his opinion, #Broncos CB Patrick Surtain had possession of the ball with two feet down before #Packers WR Romeo Doubs got his feet down. Steratore says it should have been an INT and not a Green Bay TD. #GBvsDEN

#Broncos safety Kareem Jackson has been ejected for this hit on #Packers TE Luke Musgrave.
Jackson has had a few of these this year. At least 3 or 4.pic.twitter.com/CSUy28mNqK

@nfl refs are ruining the damn games. @ReemBoi25 can’t make a tackle. Then you see the damn TE celebrating after he is ejected. Bullshit.

Sorry, folks, that's an ejectable hit on a defenseless receiver. pic.twitter.com/gKCsRCAkm5

The NFL is gonna suspend Jackson. The Broncos should save them the hassle and cut him.

IMO in #GBvsDEN, the DB fulfilled the process of the catch before the WR did. After the defender possessed the ball, both of his feet and then his knee were down in-bounds prior to the WR's.
This would make this play an interception.https://t.co/Jp8XuPZtdL

It's pretty wild that NFL refs don't know the rules of the game.

The Packers might have the two most illegitimate touchdowns I’ve ever seen 😂

Both TDs for the Packers were wild haha

No lead is safe when Vance Joseph is your defensive coordinator.

It’s the Broncos destiny to have the #1 pick in the NFL…fate is simply doing its thing.

P.J. Locke comes up with a huge INT to basically end the game #Broncos pic.twitter.com/NgNRBqknu4

The Broncos winning is horrifying. They really just suck this much.

I understand people get mad when you say it, but the worst thing the Broncos can do is win like 5 games this season.
— Joey Richards (@JRDrafts) October 22, 2023
Denver will be fine. I think the guy who went out and signed Drew Brees in his first offseason as a HC and was going to draft Patrick Mahomes when Brees was 37 knows the importance of the QB position and has things mapped out.
Calm down and enjoy a win.

Bye bye Caleb Williams, Drake Maye.
Broncos win their way into the murky middle once again.

Great win, or an unfortunate step away from the first overall pick? You decide!
Up next for the Broncos is a home game against the Chiefs.
