Talk about a not so warm welcome.

The Russell Wilson Era has not started well for the Denver Broncos. Things have been ugly in the first two games and the home fans in Denver are already fed up. After an unsuccessful goal-to-go series late in the first half, Wilson & Co. were booed heavily.

Check this out:

That is the loudest I’ve heard an NFL fanbase boo its team this early in the season in years.

There are more scenes like this from earlier in the game:

The Broncos were tied 6-6 at the half with the lowly Houston Texans, which as you can imagine, wasn’t too fun for the Broncos fans. Wilson finished the first half 6-of-19 for 83 yards, with no touchdowns and no interceptions. That follows a Week 1 performance where the Broncos only mustered 16 points against the Seattle Seahawks and completely blew the end of the game. Once again they scored 16 points, beating the Texans 16-9.

Of course following offseason expectations when you acquire Russell Wilson, fans are going to be pissed if they don’t see something clicking on the field. After the Dnever Broncos sent two first-round picks and two second-rounders to Seattle for Wilson and a fourth-rounder, then signed him to a five-year, $245 million extension, the Broncos fans clearly have no patience this season.

So just to take count, so far Russell Wilson has been booed by his former team and his current team.
