Denver Broncos are back on track in the NFL. Nathaniel Hackett and his men registered back-to-back thrilling wins to keep their campaign on a positive note. They downed the Niners 11-10 in Week Three. Coming into the NFL season, Hackett and Co. were not among the favorites. 

The low-scoring clash has taken Broncos to the top of the AFC West alongside the Chiefs. The 42-year-old head coach has a substantial role in their transformation. In a Twitter video, Broncos players are seen in jubilant mode, about their win.

When Nathaniel Hackett and his game plan impressed Aaron Rodgers

The Twitter video shows star QB Russell Wilson, and the head coach seemed charged up. Earlier, there were talks about the duo’s equations with each other. In the season opener, Hackett took the ball out of the QB’s hands with the game on the line. Talking in a presser, Wilson said he believed in coach Hackett.

Ahead of the NFL, Packers superstar Aaron Rodgers was one of the QBs who vouched for the young and energetic coach. “I’m really happy for Nathaniel. I think this is a little overdue, to be honest. I think he’s been around the game for a long time. What he did in Jacksonville was pure magic. He’s a great coach. I love spending time with him. He’s a fantastic teacher,” A-Rod said.

Even though their offense needs to up their game, Broncos hold a 2-1 record in Week 3. They forced three turnovers and safety to secure the win. It was only the second game in NFL history to finish with an 11-10 score.

Hackett and his rapid rise through the years

The California-born coach is the son of NFL offensive assistant, Paul Hackett. He started his career with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hackett worked as a quality control assistant and later become the offensive coordinator of the Bills and Jaguars. Later on, he became Matt LaFleur’s top offensive coach for the Packers. It was a golden phase for him and Aaron Rodgers as they become one of the best scoring offenses in the 2020 season.
