Why Sean Payton may be facing his most important game as Broncos coach vs. Raiders

New York Times  

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — When the Broncos defeated the Kansas City Chiefs for the first time in eight years last October, first-year Denver coach Sean Payton wasn’t eager to celebrate the win as a monumental achievement. “It’s a division opponent; this is our first chance to play a division opponent,” Payton said Wednesday. It would also be a nod of respect to the 1977 Broncos AFC championship team being honored at Sunday’s game, including the Ring of Fame inductions of safety Steve Foley and tight end Riley Odoms. Crosby did not practice for the Raiders on Wednesday but said earlier in the week that “the plan is to play versus Denver.” Maxx Crosby has been a problem for the Broncos in recent years but didn’t practice Wednesday with an ankle injury and his status for Sunday remains uncertain.
