Denver fans were mad that Broncos’ stadium sponsor saluted Chiefs on Super Bowl berth
The Denver Broncos play their games at Empower Field at Mile High under a deal reached last year.

Broncos fans, however, weren’t happy to see this on Twitter:

Fans on Twitter vented about the good wishes about the Chiefs making the Super Bowl. Here are some of the responses:
