Broncos-Saints Open Thread: Sean Payton returns to New Orleans

Tonight’s Thursday Night Football game has not one but two rookie quarterbacks duking it out. You have the Denver Broncos and Bo Nix, and then the New Orleans Saints with Spencer Rattler. Derek Carr has been listed as doubtful all week.

So this means we get to watch the rookies. Overshadowing that is the return of Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton to New Orleans. Payton won a Super Bowl with the Saints in the 2010 season. Payton may be a bigger storyline than the rookie QBs.

Nix has been starting all season.
