During a media session on Wednesday, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton expressed his unfiltered opinion about New Year”s Eve, labeling it as the most overrated holiday. His remarks came as the team gears up for their final game of the regular season against the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday.
Payton also took the opportunity to commend his players, highlighting their efforts as they prepare for the season finale. With a record of 13-3, the Broncos secured their division title following a victory on Christmas night against Kansas City, ending a long-standing struggle at Arrowhead Stadium.
A win over the Chargers would not only solidify Denver”s position as the team with the best record in the league but also guarantee that any AFC team aiming for the Super Bowl will have to come through Mile High Stadium in January. Even in the case of a loss, the Broncos will still host a playoff game, although they could drop to the No. 3 seed based on outcomes involving the New England Patriots and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Chargers enter Week 18 already out of contention for the AFC West title and the top seed in the conference. They recently suffered a narrow 20-16 defeat to the Houston Texans, where they fell behind 14-0 by the first quarter and failed to complete a comeback.
