It’s safe to say Denver Broncos fans haven’t gotten what they expected out of their first two games with Sean Payton as their head coach — and New Orleans Saints fans have been quick to have some fun at their expense. No less because the Saints own the Broncos’ picks in the second and seventh rounds of the 2024 NFL draft.
With the Broncos falling to 0-2 to start the season after a successful Hail Mary was followed by an unsuccessful two-point try (and a controversial officiating decision) in Sunday’s loss to the Washington Commanders, Saints fans on social media had a lot to say about their team’s old coach:
Sean Payton lost one game because Wil Lutz is inconsistent and another game because of a referee no call. Hell Sean you could have stayed here and did all that 😭

It's 8:36 PM which seems like a good time to remind everyone that the Broncos traded a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick for Sean Payton.
