Cowboys, Sean Payton and Broncos
Digest more
The Denver Broncos wore their beautiful throwback uniform against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in a convincing 44-24 victory at home. Since reintroducing their 1977-inspired throwback uniform last year,
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton's comments about Russell Wilson sparked a heated response from the New York Giants quarterback, who called his former coach "classless."
Initial thoughts from the Broncos’ 44-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 at Empower Field:
Many fans and pundits blamed quarterback Bo Nix or coach Sean Payton (or both) for the team's struggles. One of the team's former backup quarterbacks, Ben DiNucci, pondered on social media if the team would be better with quarterbacks coach Davis Webb calling plays for the offense.
One day after Russell Wilson, Sean Payton's quarterback once upon a time, evidently called his former coach "classless," Payton responded.
Another potential area of need (though not for quantity) is wide receiver — specifically, an upgrade over Troy Franklin at WR2, opposite Courtland Sutton. If Payton goes hunting there, he might look to his former employer, the New Orleans Saints, who are rumored to be dangling WRs Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed on the block.
