The Denver Broncos had the most difficult and embarrassing season this year. It was filled with silly penalties and was also offensively inept. Understandably, fans were sad about how many losses the team endured. They needed effective change. Hence, the team signed the former New Orleans coach who won its first Super Bowl in the 2009 season. Sean Payton is looking like the guy who is going to change the team. Fans think so too. And now when reporters asked him who was his best bet to win the Super Bowl, which will happen on February 12, his answer thrilled the Broncos supporters as he put his faith in the Eales instead of the fans-favored Chiefs.

It looks like fans are siding and loving Payton more than they appreciated the former head coach, Nathaniel Hackett. And it is understandable. The team fired Hackett only after coaching the team for fifteen games. And the answer Payton gave was what many fans believe, in complete contrast to what Hackett would have said.

Fans reacted excitedly and chose Sean Payton to be better than Denver’s former head coach

Payton is currently serving as a FOX analyst. For that reason, he will have to predict who will win between the Chiefs (AFC) and the Eagles (NF). His answer would make Denver fans glad.

He said, “I’m picking the Eagles. We never want anyone in our division to win anything. The perfect weekend for a Broncos fan is we get a win and the other three lose.”

His answer showed the fans that he had the right spirit and mindset.

He chose the high-powered Kansas City over the talented Bengals. That is because Denver and the Chiefs belong to the same division. It’s the, ‘if we can’t have it, they also shouldn’t’, mindset that Payton is running with.

A fan thought that Hackett would have favored the Chiefs. They also liked that the new coach followed the motto of the late Hall of Famer and part-owner of the Broncos, Pat Bowlen.

Denver fans think now that they have a new head coach, they will be able to up their games. Additionally, will also be able to lift up their “poverty franchise” from the ashes.

It will be interesting to see what will happen to the team. The new coach will try to pay attention to the details that the players lacked in the 2022-2023 season. Will he be able to bring happiness to a team that hasn’t made it to the playoffs since 2015?
