BREAKING: Nathaniel Hackett was fired Monday after the Broncos fell to 4-11 with an embarrassing 51-14 loss at the Los Angeles Rams, the team announced, ending an unsuccessful and brief run at what once looked like a promising landing spot.
From the start, though, Hackett stumbled out of the gate.
The next week, more game management issues cropped up in a 16-9 home win against Houston when fans began counting down the play clock, prompting Hackett to make a change. He hired former Baltimore Ravens assistant coach Jerry Rosburg to help with game operations, and that element largely smoothed out.
“A big talk we’ve had recently is about culture and as players, taking onus,” safety Justin Simmons said after Denver lost to Las Vegas at home Nov. 20, falling to 3-7 and capping a season sweep at the hands of the Raiders. “It’s Year 7 for me. Coach Hackett is my fourth head coach and that’s just wild to think about. There is so much turnover. Everyone wants to point the blame on certain people.
The Broncos scored just four offensive touchdowns in their first five home games and scored multiple touchdowns just twice in their first 12 overall.
