The Denver Broncos got molly whopped by the Los Angeles Rams on Christmas Day. It got so bad, that some players got into a little exchange on the sideline during the fourth quarter.
Things aren’t looking great for this franchise as it appears nearly everyone is completely over this frustrating season.
Dov Kleiman shares a video of the incident. It appears to be in the fourth quarter of the game and the Broncos’ offense is coming off of the field. Starting left guard Dalton Risner was seen shoving backup quarterback Brett Rypien. Risner also apparently yelled, “do something, Brett! Do something!” Teammates separated the two as quickly as possible.

This franchise appears to be totally broken. Losing to the Rams 51-14 was a tough look for the Broncos. Nothing has gone right and nobody is sure what the future holds. Regardless, it’s a bad look when a scuffle takes place on the sideline. It is a bit confusing why Risner was so upset with Rypien, as the game was lost well before this moment.
In the end, the Broncos were able to cool down on the sideline for the time being. Even so, they still got demolished on Christmas Day. Denver will play out the remainder of the season but all eyes will be on this franchise once the offseason officially begins.
