Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain spoke on the team’s winning record and how head coach Sean Payton is preparing them for a playoff push at a charity event on Monday.
During his time with media, Surtain was asked how it felt to have the first winning season of his career with the team.
“(It) means a lot,” Surtain said. “Obviously, we fell short these past couple of years, but it happens. Winning records and having these contagious energy, it honestly means something, right? Because I’ve been talking about the organization that has been through it the past few years, but now we starting to get that winning attitude, that winning demeanor. So having that culture represented in the Broncos organization means a lot.”
With the playoffs just one win away, Surtain and the Broncos can taste the postseason. Head coach Sean Payton knows well how a playoff push can affect a team.
“(Coach Payton is) preparing us very well,” said Surtain. “He understands what it takes to get there, so we just taking it on and following his approach. So yeah, we taking it day by day, week by week, and obviously we got big goals ahead of us. But, the main thing is right now is to finish the season off strong the right way, so we could allow ourselves to get to that mark.”
Surtain and the Broncos look to secure their spot in the playoffs with a win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night.
