Sean Payton admitted he “has to be a lot better” after the Broncos’ opener—but does this feel different than his usual accountability lines? We break down whether Payton’s emotional investment in Bo Nix clouded his judgment, how shuffling personnel and avoiding the run early hurt the rookie, and whether he unintentionally telegraphed his Week 2 game plan against the Colts.
We also discuss Nix’s own comments about “high standards,” why decision-making on 3rd-and-long must improve, and what the offense should look like against an Indy defense that just held Miami to 8 points. On the other side, Denver’s defense dominated the Titans—can they repeat against a Colts team that scored on all 7 drives last week?
Plus: Colts over/under at 20.5 points, whether Indy is “for real” or Miami is “that bad,” and a look at the Broncos’ new $4B retractable-roof stadium coming in 2031—what fans can expect, the ownership group’s legacy, and the likelihood of pricey PSLs.
