Another option just opened up for interim New Orleans Saints head coach Darren Rizzi. Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos fired their special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. The Broncos finished in the top half of the league for yards allowed on both punt returns (251) and kick returns (604), but they were tied for the sixth-highest average of yards per punt allowed (48.7) and gave up the second-most punting yardage (3,849). Only the Cleveland Browns were worse. Clearly that wasn’t good enough.
