What a game.

In Russell Wilson’s return to Seattle, the Denver Broncos fell short to the Seahawks in a 17-16 loss on Monday.

New coach Nathaniel Hackett elected to attempt a 64-yard field goal instead of relying on Wilson to attempt a fourth-and-five from near midfield.

Brandon McManus missed the game and the Broncos are now 0-1. Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to the Monday Night Football finish.

Colin Cowherd comes out swinging

Russell Wilson couldn’t overcome his coach, or teammates tonight. It happens.

Rya Clark puts on his GM hat.

I ain’t paying $256 Million to let my kicker kick a 64 yard field goal on 4th and 5.

And then the hot takes.

Geno Smith might be better than Mac Jones?

Up next for the Broncos is a home game against the Houston Texans in Week 2. Both teams will be looking for their first win of the season after Houston tied the Indianapolis Colts 20-20 in Week 1.
