Broncos' Russell Wilson: Wish I played better for Nathaniel Hackett

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, on track for a career-low in touchdown passes and career-high in sacks, pointed to his own play in this disappointing season as a regret in the wake of Nathaniel Hackett's firing Monday morning as the team's head coach.

"The reality is I wish I could have played better for him too,'' Wilson said after Wednesday's practice. "I wish I could have played at the standard, the level that I've always played at, know how to play at.''

Hackett was fired 15 games into his first season as Broncos coach with the team at 4-11 and with the lowest-scoring offense in the league at 15.
