Broncos DT Mike Purcell Seems to Yell at Russell Wilson In Game vs. Panthers

Things are getting ugly in Denver.

The Broncos’ offensive woes continued Sunday in an embarrassing loss to the Panthers and things got ugly on the way there. Specifically for Russell Wilson. 

The quarterback has been under the microscope ever since he joined Denver and has been the subject of much scrutiny because of his disappointing play. In the middle of Sunday’s game, his own teammate appeared to let his frustration with his quarterback boil over. 

Broncos defensive tackle Mike Purcell was walking to the sideline and it’s unclear what exactly prompted this interaction. But Purcell appeared to snap and scream at Wilson in the middle of the game, prompting Wilson to calmly respond.
