He did not say, though, that he’d have gone for two and the win rather than kicking an extra point to force overtime after Denver scored to get within 24-23 of the Bengals with eight seconds left in regulation.
“Oh certainly,” Payton said when asked if he’d reconsidered since the game ended in a 30-24 Bengals victory.
