Sean Payton’s first season at the helm of the Broncos is off to a rocky start, with Denver falling to 1-5 after a 19-8 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday night.
One particular gaffe seemed to illustrate the team’s season overall, as the veteran coach made a crucial mistake that cost the Broncos three points against Kansas City.
At the end of the first half, with Denver trailing 10-0, Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was sacked on third down with 22 seconds left in the half. The sack occurred at the Chiefs’ 37-yard line, effectively pulling Denver out of field goal range.
