Well deserved.
The Denver Broncos have signed head coach Sean Payton to a new five-year contract extension.
The Broncos have increased their win total in each of Payton’s three years, including last year’s 14-3 finish for first in the AFC regular-season standings.
The Broncos lost to the New England Patriots in the AFC final, though they were missing starting quarterback Bo Nix to injury.
Payton previously coached the New Orleans Saints from 2006-2021 with one year off in 2012 due to a suspension for a bounty scandal. The Payton-coached Saints won the Super Bowl in the 2009 season.
Payton has a career record of 184-108.
