Episode Description

The Broncos were back at work on Monday, and the tone was unmistakable — Sean Payton was not happy with how his team got beat down by the Packers on Friday. The urgency kicked up, the intensity rose, and this week suddenly feels like a recalibration moment heading into the final preseason game. The big question: how does Payton plan this week. Expect sharper practices, cleaner execution demands, and a focus on correcting the mental mistakes that showed up against Green Bay. This isn’t a “just get through preseason” week — it’s a response week. And with the Vikings coming to town Friday, will the starters play more than originally planned. It’s on the table. Payton wants rhythm, he wants timing, and he wants his top guys to show they can execute under pressure. That means Bo Nix could see extended work, and Jaylen Waddle may be part of that push to sharpen the offense. This is the last chance to tune up before the real thing — and Payton is treating it that way. 🔥 In this episode: How Sean Payton resets the team after the Packers loss Why starters may play more vs. the Vikings Bo Nix’s potential workload in the final preseason game What this week tells us about the team’s mindset Drop your Broncos take — how much do YOU want to see the starters on Friday, and which player needs a big final preseason showing.
