Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said adamantly Monday that he doesn’t believe the protests during the national anthem Sunday were a distraction for his team or influenced their play on the field in a loss to Buffalo.
Joseph spoke to his players Saturday night about President Donald Trump’s comments, in which Trump said “son of a bitch” protesters should be fired by NFL owners for disrespecting the flag. In his conversation with the team, Joseph encouraged players to “put the team first” and focus on the game Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
