Payton crunched the numbers, relied on his instincts, and made a series of baffling if not indefensible decisions. He is a potential Hall of Fame coach, and it was hard to leave the stadium not believing this rebuild is bringing out his worst. Let’s start at the end.

Bo Nix liked the Broncos’ plan for Pittsburgh before kickoff. Sean Payton soured on it before the Steelers’ suffocation of Denver’s offense was complete Sunday afternoon at Empower Field. Patience with the run game? The ability to go deep into the playbook? A grind-it-out, field-position battle there for the taking?

The wide receiver expressed frustration after the Broncos’ 13-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday. But he remains optimistic even if Denver is 0-2 for the second year in a row. “I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum,” Sutton said.
