Payton’s Broncos Face Staley’s Chargers in Week 6 Showdown

Denver Broncos Head Coach Sean Payton recently shared insights into the team’s upcoming Week 6 clash against their AFC West rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers. Payton praised Chargers running back Austin Ekeler, highlighting his vision, footwork, and powerful running style as key strengths that the Broncos defense will need to contain.

Payton also emphasized the Chargers’ impressive red zone defense, noting their ability to limit opponents’ trips inside the 20-yard line. He acknowledged the need to study preseason footage to analyze their defensive strategies. Historically, the Broncos have enjoyed home-field advantage against the Chargers, boasting an impressive record of nine wins in their last 10 matchups at Empower Field at Mile High.
