Wil Lutz responds to Broncos fans: 'Twitter is a wild place'

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz made light of a recent Twitter exchange with fans during a recent incident. The kicker had joked that he had a bone to pick with reporters after they praised safety Brandon Jones for field goal accuracy while ignoring his own 73-yard field goal in practice. Lutz's remark was clearly meant in good spirits, but it did not sit well with some Broncos supporters on social media.

One fan tweeted that they hoped Lutz would kick longer in real games, while another suggested he practice in the cold. Lutz, likely aware of the backlash, responded to the comments himself on Twitter/X, joking that Twitter is a wild place. He expressed his appreciation for the true fans who support the Broncos, and shared his excitement for the season ahead.

Lutz had an impressive regular season last year, making 28 out of 32 field goal attempts from 32 yards and beyond, including a 57-yarder. However, he missed both of his attempts in a 10-7 loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game. Lutz is in his fourth season as the team's kicker.
