Purcell stated that the incident caused him frustration. We all want to spark something. It is a team effort. This is the quarterback of our offense. They’re about take the field… [the defense wasn’t] We did our jobs, but we needed to find a spark somewhere. They’re going to be the best in the field.
Purcell was flagged for an unneeded roughness penalty in a 26-yard field kick by the Panthers’ kicker Eddy Pineiro With 13 minutes and 33 seconds remaining in the game, he was seen shouting at Wilson. As he approached Wilson’s sideline, he began shouting at him. Purcell then responded and started shouting more.
Purcell stated that he had received a penalty on a field-goal block and was now frustrated. “Frustrated for all, we didn’t do our job in defense…just not good enough.”
Wilson stated, “Mike is on the same page as I am,” He came out after they kicked the field goal. He was upset and said, “We’ve got, but we have to go”. I agreed. We are on the same page and there is no animosity.
Wilson said, “We have to win. We’ve got grit to be here, and some mentality to be here, we’ve gotta win these football games.” “Those guys fight every play and offensive we can capitalize on. “So, yeah, there’s not much there, him and me — there’s no there.”
In the last two months, many players from the Broncos have been asked if there has been a growing division in the locker room due to their offense.

Safety said, “We didn’t play well enough to win, and we didn’t stop the run, and we didn’t stop explosives,” Justin Simmons. “No way are you going to win games such as that.”
“We didn’t do enough,” stated a linebacker. Josey Jewell. “This one wasn’t a good one.”
Simmons claimed he had spoken with Purcell after the match and that he would speak to Wilson.
Simmons stated that he believes the group’s chemistry is still strong. It can be frustrating when you put so much effort into it week in and out and don’t see the results. As frustrated as everyone may be, imagine the frustration of the guys when they are trying to win football games.
“And some of it spills over… Those kinds of things happen in games. Mike meant well… Things aren’t going right for us as a group, not just one side of it… These things are going to happen.
Nathaniel Hackett, Broncos coach, said that he didn’t see the incident but promised to speak with both players after the game.
Hackett admitted that “I know they’re competitors… but we’ll get to it,”
