Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton on Thursday night walked out onto the field at Caesars Superdome—to a mix of cheers and boos—as an opposing coach for the first time since leaving the New Orleans Saints after 15 seasons in 2021.
And Payton left no doubt as to how emotional the end of the night will be for him. During an interview with Amazon Prime's Charissa Thompson that aired before the game, Payton got choked up when former Saints players such as linebacker Demario Davis and defensive end Cameron Jordan were mentioned.
