Before the Denver Broncos faced the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football last week, wide receiver Marvin Mims was taking pictures with Broncos fans during pregame while being heckled by a Bills fan.
“You’re locked up! Nothing! Zero catches! Zero catches!” a fan shouted to Mims.
The receiver had a perfect response: “Hey, he don’t throw it to me anyway!” Video from the exchange went viral on social media:

Mims was smiling when he made the comment, which was clearly a light-hearted remark. The receiver does not have beef with quarterback Russell Wilson, and he took to Twitter on Tuesday to make that known.
“Great team win!! Appreciate all the love from Broncos Country at the game. Just was having some fun pregame with the fans. Everybody chill out 😂😂” Mims wrote on his Twitter/X page.

While the rookie has had a limited role on offense, Mims has been an electric returner and he was just named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week.

During the team’s three-game winning streak, Mims has received just one target in all three games. With a productive run-heavy attack, Denver might not feel inclined to fix what’s not broken, but here’s to hoping for more targets for Mims in the second half of the season.
