Sean Payton Explains Curious Way Broncos Celebrated AFC West Crown
In between their Christmas Night game vs. the Kansas City Chiefs and Monday morning, the Denver Broncos won the AFC West crown. The Los Angeles Chargers had a chance to keep it on the table, but couldn't beat the Houston Texans on Saturday, falling to 11-5 and clinching the divisional title for the Broncos. The Broncos' defense has been criticized for relinquishing more yards and points, while recording fewer sacks and pressures. Coach Sean Payton emphasised the importance of improving the turnover margin for the playoffs. The team remains in control of the No. 1 playoff seed in the AFC, provided they defeat the Chargers on Sunday. Payton emphasized the importance for this as games are three hours long and potentially risk losing a game. He also highlighted the home-field advantage given to the team due to the difficulty of winning playoff games on the road. The only team to successfully navigate all three rounds of the playoff gauntlet was the 1997 team.
