A day after the Broncos’ worst loss of the season featured defensive lineman Mike Purcell yelling in the face of quarterback Russell Wilson on the sideline, head coach Nathaniel Hackett said he’s okay with the heated fourth-quarter exchange.
“You want every one of your football players to want to do anything to win, and you want them to hold each other accountable and you want them to fire each other up,” Hackett said. “Whenever that comes from a player (to another player), that means a lot to him. So I appreciate (Purcell’s) passion and understand it. I just don’t want him to get the personal foul in that situation.
