Broncos Coach Sean Payton Gets Candid on His Return to New Orleans
The primetime matchup between the Denver Broncos and the New Orleans Saints was an emotional one. Broncos head coach Sean Payton made his return to New Orleans for the first time since his departure in 2021. He was the head coach of the franchise for 15 years and led them to a Super Bowl title in 2010. Ahead of his return to New Orleans as an opposing coach, Payton says he expects Thursday Night's Game to be "unique."
"It will be unique. Certainly, there will be emotions going back there with players, but I do think that comes up quite a bit in our league," Payton said of returning to New Orleans.
"With players and in this case certainly the amount of time I was there, I understand it. We have to deal with the crowd noise. That place is loud, and you guys know that. Fortunately, it's a short week because I haven't had a chance to dive into all the other stuff."
