The Broncos are more functional under Sean Payton — but familiar issues remain

New York Times  

DENVER — You could almost see the entire scenario being painted inside Sean Payton’s head. With the clock reading two minutes and 53 seconds left in the second quarter of Sunday’s Week 1 opener against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Denver Broncos’ new head coach took his second timeout of the first half. We have to break this cycle where we play well the entire game and then, when it gets down to the nitty-gritty, we don’t finish.” Jimmy Garoppolo came in clutch to help the Las Vegas Raiders spoil Sean Payton’s debut as the Denver Broncos’ coach in a 17-16 victory Sunday. Lutz was also involved in Payton’s bold, yet unsuccessful opening gambit — a sneak onside kick to begin the game that the Broncos recovered, only to be flagged for an illegal touching when referees ruled the ball did not travel 10 yards before Tremon Smith first contacted it. “Going into the game, if you look at Jimmy G, it’s very well known he gets the ball out quick,” said Broncos defensive end Zach Allen, who frequently competed against the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback while playing for the NFC West rival Arizona Cardinals the past four seasons.
