Broncos' Sean Payton Denies 'Revenge Tour' vs. NFC South Despite 4-0 Record

The Denver Broncos are in the midst of a 6-5 season and have successfully defeated every NFC South team this year.

While an impressive accomplishment, head coach Sean Payton emphasized that sweeping his former division is not his primary focus.

"We're just focused on winning," Payton told reporters when asked if he was in the midst of a 'revenge tour' against his old division. "I could say something smart but I'm not going to right now."

The Broncos' 38-6 blowout victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday sealed their sweep of the NFC South, defeating each of the division's four teams by 14 points or more.

Payton is in his 17th season as a head coach in the NFL, previously spending his first 15 years with the New Orleans Saints.

He stepped down as head coach of the Saints in 2021, a year after franchise quarterback Drew Brees retired, finishing his tenure with a 152-89 career record.

The Broncos are currently third in the AFC West, trailing both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers. They occupy the final Wild Card spot in the AFC.

Denver will need to secure some big wins in the coming weeks, starting with Sunday's road matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
