Broncos coach Sean Payton on preseason performance vs. Packers: "That wasn't good enough"

The Denver Broncos suffered a disappointing 33-13 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers, with coach Sean Payton expressing his dissatisfaction. During the game, Payton highlighted several areas where the Broncos underperformed, such as penalties, kickoff battles, and rushing numbers. He emphasized that each phase of the preseason game had its share of mistakes, including what ultimately led to the final score.

Payton stated that the team cannot dismiss preseason games, as they are crucial steps toward the regular season. Although he praised quarterback Bo Nix's performance in his first game action since breaking his ankle, Payton was generally unhappy with the offensive output, noting that they had too many minus plays and penalties. Regarding Nix's participation in the preseason finale, Payton avoided speculation, stating that he would evaluate the team's performance on the tape before making a decision.

The first Monday night game of the regular season is just 17 days away, and the Broncos have a limited time to address their shortcomings before facing the Kansas City Chiefs.
