Home-field advantage is supposed to be a sacred thing in the NFL. The fans cheer louder, the players feed off the energy, and everything just feels a little easier when you’re on familiar turf—unless the fans turn on you.
Getting booed in your own stadium is like being betrayed by your best friend at your birthday party. Whether it was because of poor play, drama off the field, or just being a scapegoat for a struggling team, these NFL stars got an earful from the crowd that once adored them.
15. Dak Prescott
Cowboys fans are passionate, but that passion can turn brutal fast. After a few too many playoff flops, some fans let Dak know exactly how they felt.
14. Matt Schaub
Once the Texans’ reliable starter, Schaub hit a brutal stretch where pick-sixes became routine. Fans booed him so hard it felt personal—and it kind of was.
13. Donovan McNabb
Philly fans are never shy, and even McNabb wasn’t immune to their wrath. A bad stretch or a single interception could bring on the chorus of boos in no time.
12. Derek Carr
Raiders fans rode hard for Carr for years, but patience wore thin in the final seasons. When the offense sputtered, so did the cheers in Vegas and Oakland.
11. Baker Mayfield
Cleveland fell in love with Baker fast—and fell out just as quickly. A rough final year led to boos raining down every time he missed a throw.
10. Eli Manning
Yes, even two-time Super Bowl champ Eli wasn’t safe at MetLife. Giants fans let him have it during down years, proving no one’s above the boo birds.
9. Jay Cutler
Chicago fans are loyal, but Cutler’s body language and inconsistency didn’t help his case. Soldier Field turned hostile more than once during his tenure.
8. Carson Wentz
From near-MVP to public enemy in Philly, Wentz’s decline was met with heavy criticism. And the fans let him hear it—loud and often.
7. Tony Romo
Despite solid numbers, Romo always had a complicated relationship with Dallas fans. One bad interception and the stadium could go from cheers to jeers instantly.
6. Jeff Garcia
Garcia had success in San Francisco, but fans soured quickly when the team struggled. The boos came fast and fierce whenever he faltered.
5. Russell Wilson
Broncos fans had high hopes after his arrival, but Year 1 was a disaster. Mile High Stadium turned cold fast, and the boos echoed all season.
4. Mark Sanchez
The butt fumble didn’t help, but fans were already losing patience with Sanchez. New York doesn’t do subtle, and the booing was relentless.
3. Ben Roethlisberger
Late in his career, Big Ben caught some heat from Pittsburgh fans frustrated with his declining play. It wasn’t constant, but when it came, it was jarring.
