DK Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks was the third player to fumble in the quarter. 

One yard shy of the end zone, Gordon got stuffed and the ball was knocked out of his hands. Seattle’s Mike Jackson recovered the ball.

“Melvin Gordon getting the first carry post fumble. Did Javonte fart in someone’s corn flakes?” a Twitter user said. 

“Melvin Gordon fumble at the goal line. Sounds familiar for some reason,” another one added.

“Melvin Gordon is right back out there getting carries after the costly fumble,” a third one said. 

Very soon, Javonte Williams, Denver’s other RB, fumbled at goaline. The 22-year-old let the ball off on a third-and-goal carry from the 1-yard line. The Seahawks made the recovery in the end zone for a touchback.

Watch both fumbles:

Seattle wide receiver DK Metcalf lost a fumble after a catch. Broncos safety Justin Simmons made the recovery and provided a 17-yard return.

Meanwhile, Denver quarterback Russell Wilson was booed by Seattle fans. Some were seen holding signs and boards that mocked Wilson. One poster read, “Dude turned diva went Hollywood on us!

Russell was traded to the Broncos after a decade-long stint with the Seahawks. 

“I’ll forever have love in my heart for Seattle,” Wilson said ahead of the game. He had a record of 104-53-1 for the Seahawks, but his relationship with coach Pete Carroll soured in recent years and he was traded to Denver last March for a package of draft picks and players, including QB Drew Lock, who lost a training camp competition with Wilson’s former backup, Geno Smith.

“I know they’ll be rowdy. I know they’ll be excited. I know it’s ‘Monday Night Football’. So, it’ll be a special environment,” Wilson said Thursday.
