What a hangover.
The Denver Broncos had everything going for them in the first half against the Los Angeles Chargers, but for some reason went away from what was working and proceeded to get blown out. The turning point, though, came at the end of the first half where Sean Payton decided to try to make something happen with less than a minute to go.
Rather than take the blame for poor play calling, he blamed the penalty. While technically true, he could have also just run the clock out.
“Look, I think 40 or 41 seconds to start the drive,” Payton said after the game.
