Sean Payton wanted to keep things simple during the Broncos’ ‘Thursday Night Football’ showdown with the Chargers.
The Denver head coach had his play sheet flash on the Prime Video broadcast during the second quarter while his team led 14-10. And folks noticed his straightforward plan: running the football.
Of course, he didn’t exactly stick to it as rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw the ball plenty, but a photo of the exposed sheet has gone viral anyway.

Sean Payton’s Play Sheet Had Everyone Talking
Sean Payton’s apparent insistence on trying to stick to the ground game stirred some reactions online.
“That’s a hell of a plan,” someone pointed out.
“Passed twice on the goaline there 🤣,” another observed.
“Just when I think I understand illegal man downfield ….” said a third.
“The run sets up the pass plays,” someone else pointed out.
“Meanwhile Bo Nix has 158 pass yds/2 TDs and it is still the 1st half,” a user wrote.
“Straightforward and effective-run the ball!” another declared.
The Broncos were trailing 27-24 with just over minutes to go in the fourth quarter at the time of writing. Running back Audric Estime had made seven carries for 36 yards, while Nix had passed for 200 yards and two TDs.
Looks like this may have been on purpose.

ESPN’s Troy Aikman made an observation about rookie quarterback Caleb Williams that should have every Chicago Bears fan worried.
The Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings 12-30 on Monday night, with the rookie having another rough outing that saw him get sacked three more times to take his total to 59.
He didn’t look like a player who could take much more when he went to the bench early in the fourth quarter, showing off some concerning body language to prompt some worry from Aikman.
“I was 0-11 as a starter and he’s had a much better rookie season than I had,” the commentator said. “He was grimacing and in an enormous amount of pain. When you watch him, you can tell that he’s a defeated guy.”
