However, consecutive wins aren’t the only evidence that the 35-year-old quarterback is back to his previous form under the influence of the coach. Multiple factors indicate that Payton has indeed done a tremendous job for Wilson. The Broncos QB has been performing exceptionally well this year. He has thrown for 19 touchdowns with just four interceptions. This season, he became the first QB in the league to rush for 5,000 yards and pass for around 42,782 yards. He has completed 69% of his passes, showcasing his accuracy. Furthermore, if he maintains this pace, he has a high chance of throwing for more than 4,000 yards.
Therefore, under the influence of Sean Payton, the Broncos’ scoring offense has cracked the Top 15 rank in the league. These statistics highlight the positive impact Payton has had on Wilson, glorifying his Seattle Seahawks era and the team’s offensive performance as they aim to make it to the playoffs.
