ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton defended his team's efforts and his own play-calling Monday and denied he was trying to run up the score in Sunday's 28-14 victory against the Carolina Panthers.
The Broncos were ahead 28-7 in the fourth quarter when they attempted a fake field goal -- on what would have been a 60-yard attempt by Wil Lutz. Later in the quarter, Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton completed a fourth-down pass to fullback Michael Burton to keep a drive going.
