Broncos head coach Sean Payton met with the media today and discussed Sunday’s heartbreaking loss to the Houston Texans. One of the topics that came up was the costly personal foul on Alex Singleton in the first quarter. The veteran linebacker got into a shoving match after the play with Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. This altercation between the two led to a flag being thrown on Singleton and turning a fourth down and a field goal attempt into first and goal and an eventual touchdown.
Payton spoke on this and told reporters that “we let a rookie bait us into a personal foul”.
