Only two games deep into his tenure as Denver’s coach, Sean Payton might have to decide if he’s really willing to ride or die with Russell Wilson as quarterback of the Broncos..
Their margin of error in this new football season already gone, the Broncos are one bad loss away from tanking for the best available quarterback in the 2024 NFL draft.
After a season-opening loss to the Raiders that quickly crushed whatever cautious enthusiasm there might have been in Broncos Country, the insult of losing to Washington and going 0-2 at home against two NFL bottom-feeders would not only dash playoff dreams but could mark the beginning of the end for the relationship between Wilson and Payton.
By dinking and dunking, Wilson posted numbers against Las Vegas that only a football accountant wearing a pocket protector could love. Yes, there were encouraging signs of healthy restraint in the 27 completions for 177 yards and two touchdowns Wilson produced against the Raiders. The situation: After a coolly efficient and painstakingly patient 14-play drive advanced the Broncos from their own 20-yard line to within five yards of the end zone, Denver had pushed the Raiders to the brink of elimination on third down.
The Broncos galloped to the line in a hurry with the tempo Payton had preached throughout training camp. The personnel on the field and quirk in the formation given to Wilson were sufficient to give Las Vegas an instant migraine.
