Broncos fans left Thursday’s game before overtime even started

Denver Broncos fans are clearly fed up with the team’s offense.

After six years of underwhelming performances, the Broncos seemingly addressed their biggest need this offseason when they brought in quarterback Russell Wilson, who was believed to be the missing piece capable of turning things around.

Instead, the offense has continued to struggle, outside of a few sporadic promising moments. Denver’s offense managed to score just nine points on Thursday and they punted five times.

Wilson was sacked four times and threw two interceptions. The offense looked so poor that when the game was set to go into overtime tied at 9-9, some Broncos fans started to leave before the extra period even started.

And before the early exits, Denver fans booed Wilson and the offense multiple times after various miscues. It’s become very clear that the fans are fed up with the product the Broncos have been putting on the field.

Denver had 4,965 no-shows at Thursday’s game. If the offense doesn’t turn things around quickly, the team’s 76,125-seat stadium might begin to see even worse attendance in the coming weeks.
