Broncos roundtable: What’s the most surprising part of Sean Payton’s 0-3 start?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:28:09 GMT

Parker Gabriel, Broncos beat reporterThe Dolphins just scored again, I think. OK, well, not actually, but the Fun in the Sun offense partied in the end zone 10 times while the Broncos and coach Sean Payton roasted on the visiting sideline. Denver’s still winless but facing winless Chicago this weekend. Actually, all four 0-3 teams are lumped into two matchups (Minnesota at Carolina the other) this weekend, meaning come Monday there will be only two 0-4 teams. So, what’s the most surprising part of this for the Broncos? The defense? The myriad ways they’ve figured out how to lose? I’m going with Russell Wilson, who’s been … pretty good so far. If you’d have told me before the season that through three games Wilson would be tied for sixth with Patrick Mahomes in passer rating (99.5) and tied for eighth in EPA/play, I’d have guessed 2-1 at worst. Sure, he hasn’t been perfect. But he’s been a heck of a lot better than at any po...
