Denver media absolutely shreds Payton..

Payton has already matched the most wins that the Broncos have had in the last 6 seasons. A lot of that team are used to being losers. They are going to be an inconsistent team until they all learn to be winners. I didn't watch the game, but I would not put it past Payton to allow them getting their butts kicked on national TV to create a teaching moment.

It's year 1 in a rebuild and they already had people talking dark horses for the playoffs. The last 3 games are against the Patriots, Chargers and Raiders. They have a realistic chance at finishing with double digit wins for the first time since 2015 when they won the Super Bowl. That the local media is crushing him during this time and under those circumstances is crazy.
