Russell Wilson has broken character. The veteran quarterback, who is legendary for saying all the right things at all the right times, sidestepped his public persona and fired a shot at Broncos coach Sean Payton on Tuesday. After Sunday’s thrilling win by Denver over Wilson’s current team, Payton said that he hoped New York’s change from Wilson to rookie Jaxson …

From the mean streets of Philadelphia, all the way to the sleepy hollow of Waltham Abbey in Essex, England, the championship ambitions of the Denver Broncos are well travelled already.  After a very business-like visit to the City of Brotherly love, the 3-2 Broncos have chosen a more relaxed backdrop before facing the winless New York Jets at Tottenham Hotspur …

Eventually, Evan Engram’s body language said enough for Sean Payton to speak up. The touches weren’t there on Sunday through three quarters. They hadn’t been this year. Payton trotted out reserve tight end Lucas Krull on Denver’s first offensive series of 2025 and has kept trusty Adam Trautman on the field for a majority of the Broncos’ snaps. As Denver …

Early in the Denver Broncos’ upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles, tight end Evan Engram came off the field perhaps a bit frustrated.

Those misses contributed seven three-and-outs over the course of the game, including two in the fourth quarter that helped …

The Broncos nearly stole a game from the Chargers on Sunday, even though L.A. statistically dominated. The Chargers had 29 first downs. The Broncos had nine. The Chargers gained 376 yards from scrimmage. The Broncos gained 265. So what did Denver coach Sean Payton think of the offensive performance around second-year quarterback Bo Nix? “I think it was too inconsistent,” …

Three years ago, Sean Payton and Tom Brady became linked by the Dolphins’ effort to get them to join forces in South Florida. Now, they’re involved with AFC West rivals.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton bore full responsibility for the controversial ending to Sunday’s loss at Indianapolis, where outside linebacker Dondrea Tillman’s leverage penalty allowed the Colts to kick a game-winning field goal with no time remaining. And in doing so, Payton admitted his “big regret” from how the brutal sequence unfolded, drawing parallels to last year’s heartbreaker at …
