The Denver Broncos were once perennial contenders. Making it to the playoffs was almost a foregone conclusion. They, however, have tapered off over the last few years, and Broncos coach Sean Payton want to put an end to that.
The Broncos qualified for the playoffs last season, ending an eight-year drought. While they were booted out by the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round, it’s clear that Payton has steered the squad to the right direction.
Now entering his third year in Denver, buoyed by the continued improvement of sophomore quarterback Bo Nix and a slew of roster changes, the 61-year-old Payton’s confidence is as high as the Rocky Mountains.
“I like this team a lot,” said Payton in a report from Yahoo! Sports’ Charles Robinson.
“I’ve talked about a Super Bowl. (Since the) first meeting I had with them. First meeting.”
When he signed with the Broncos in 2023 to end a brief retirement, he stressed the relevance of the job in trying to lead them back to the top. The team hasn’t made it to the Super Bowl since winning it all in 2016.
