Payton: ‘A win would mean a lot’

Sean Payton recalled times when he was coaching under Bill Parcells and the head coach would ask Payton “to create a crisis” because he didn’t want the team getting too complacent - a psychological ploy to make sure guys were focused.

Well, Payton admitted Friday he doesn’t have to create a crisis for the Denver Broncos right now.

If the Broncos needed a “Come to Jesus” moment, they got one.

“The crisis—well, we don’t have to worry about creating a crisis if it’s real, right? We have a crisis,” he said.

That crisis is obviously being winless and having a schedule ahead that may not have many potential wins on it.
