Even while playing at home, the Broncos felt more like visitors on Thursday Night Football. Denver’s offense continued to struggle and had to rely heavily on its defense to secure the victory over Las Vegas.
Every time the Broncos’ offense stalled, fans at Empower Field voiced their frustration with loud boos. Bo Nix has now addressed the matter, acknowledging the fans’ disappointment and saying he understands their frustration.
“I’ve been booed before, and I’ll be booed again,” quarterback Bo Nix told reporters after the game. “Not going to be the last time. It’s obviously unfortunate. You don’t want your own fans booing you, but it’s part of it.”
J.K. Dobbins believes the offense can — and must — improve
Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins shares the fans’ frustration. He admitted that the offense hasn’t met expectations and understands the impatience surrounding the unit. However, Dobbins believes the group has the talent and determination to improve in the coming weeks.
“I mean, they should [boo]. They should,” JK Dobbins said after the game. “We’re not very good at times. They should be mad because we have so much talent. We’ve got to figure it out … and we will.”
