Broncos’ Sean Payton shared incredible message with key piece moments before game-winning play vs. Texans
Sean Payton made sure he left nothing to the imagination with his comments.
The Denver Broncos are red hot and once again overcame a fourth-quarter deficit in the win against the Houston Texans. Quarterback Bo Nix used his legs late in the game to get the team in field goal range. It was one of the biggest moments of the game with the second-year signal-caller rising to the occasion.
Ahead of the kick, head coach Sean Payton went viral with his message for kicker Wil Lutz. Payton walked out on the field to get Lutz’s attention and left no doubt what he was trying to get across.
“Hey, hey! Right through,” Payton said. Lutz offered a nod before drilling the game-winner.
The Denver Broncos are on a roll
Ahead of the season, Payton expressed how this team has what it takes to win a Super Bowl. After nine weeks of the season, Denver sits third in the standings, tied with the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots for the best record in football at 7-2. What’s more, they’re top of the AFC West, which should have Broncos Country more than a little excited for the future.
Some fourth-quarter magic over the course of the season and winning close games down to the wire has changed many of people’s tune on this version of the Broncos. Nix and the offense show up when needed to get the job done, and the defense is one of the best in the entire league.
Denver has a chance to make some real noise in the AFC West over the next two games, with matchups at home against the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs. If Denver can pull out back-to-back wins, it would be impossible to ignore their dominance not just in the division but in the entire NFL.
The Payton-Nix era is taking shape, built on toughness and trust. If they keep finishing games like this, Denver’s climb to the top of the league won’t take long.
