Russell Wilson turned 34 today. However, this week hasn’t been birthday appropriate for the Super Bowl champion quarterback. After his Denver Broncos lost yet again on Sunday night football, Wilson’s birthday message from the Broncos’ official Twitter handle had some fans reacting very negatively.

The Denver Broncos dreamt of potentially fighting for the Super Bowl when Russell Wilson arrived on a $245 million contract. However, the story took a twisted turn for Denver. They currently sit at the bottom of their division. After losing to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, the Broncos dropped to 3-8 for this regular season. Russell Wilson has not been at his Seattle-winning ways since the start of the season.
