Sean Payton wants the biggest spotlight there is.
When the league asked Denver’s head coach if he wanted his team’s upcoming road matchup against the Chargers to be flexed into Thursday night, three days earlier than originally scheduled, he didn’t hesitate.
When it was announced Tuesday that the Broncos will play Cincinnati on Saturday, Dec. 28, in their third nationally televised game in four weeks, Payton told his players to get used to it.
“That’s what we’re looking for,” he said.
Payton is not afraid of the entire world watching him and his team. And that confidence has flowed through the locker room, creating belief that has propelled Denver to success.
