A Backhanded shot by Denver Broncos executive John Elway to their HC Nathaniel Hackett
There are no points for pointing out the obvious that the Denver Broncos are struggling very hard this season under their Head Coach Nathaniel Hackett. Hackett, who is seen failing to produce effective matchups for his team, is performing poorly in the past few games.
And it seems to add salts to his wounds, the Broncos executive has taken an indirect jib on the behest of one of Hackett’s rival coaches, Kevin O’Connell.

And on the other hand, Kevin O’Connell has been nothing but exceptional for the Minnesota Vikings in his first year with a 4-1 start.
Broncos will play their upcoming game against the Chargers on Tuesday, while the Vikings will be going against Miami Dolphins today. Definitely, the eyes on these two teams will be added now, after that not-so-subtle comparison by former Broncos GM.
