Competent coaching matters.
When it comes to the turnaround of the Denver Broncos, that’s the biggest reason. Sean Payton is a competent head coach with a competent staff. Obviously, the start of the season was not what anyone had expected. But even with that rough start, you could see incremental improvement.
And with how bad the Broncos have been, they had to learn how not to lose games before they won them.
Now Denver sits at 5-5 and squarely in the AFC Playoff hunt. With the latest big game against a really good team in the Cleveland Browns.
