The Colorado Buffaloes were unstoppable this season until their fourth match. After their 3 consecutive wins, the team showcased stunning displays. But that didn’t last for too long. Their recent match against the Oregon Ducks left them shattered.

After the match, head coach Deion Sanders sat for the post-game news conference. With their 42-6 loss, it was evident that the players and the coach will be getting criticism online. But that didn’t stop the quarterback Robert Griffin from sharing his thoughts on the unnecessary criticism.

The Colorado’s loss seemed like an inevitable loss from which even the wide receiver Travis Hunter couldn’t have saved his team. But he didn’t play because of his injury. The match was clearly one-sided. This was the team’s first rough match but that doesn’t seem to discourage the players from coming back stronger in the next match. Despite the criticism, the players stand together. Recently, Griffin took to Twitter to talk about the unnecessary criticism Sanders has been getting lately.

The NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year (2012) talked about how Coach Prime’s haters have been engaged in a race to spread more and more hatred toward him. The player did not forget to mention the fact that a lot of people who were using Sanders’ name for clicks have now turned up against him.
