This year, some teams will miss celebrating Christmas with their families, and players aren’t shy away from expressing their disappointment in front of the public. Similarly, the Bronco’s backbone seems to have something to say about a similar situation.

The Broncos have been patchy this season. The Lions, including Jared Goff, have been quite harsh on the Orange Crush, with a whopping 24 of 34 for 278 yards, leaving the Broncos in a horrible situation. The Christmas game against the New England Patriots is a glimmer of hope amidst a series of losses this season. But every player is an emotional being, who deserves holiday cheer. But it seems the NFL is not that lucky. Recently, Patrick Mahomes expressed his desire to be with his family on Christmas. And now the Broncos HC displayed his emotion.
At a press conference, Sean Payton shared a glimpse of the life of NFL players and coaches. According to him, Christmas can fall on any day, and you must play if your game is on that day. This is not the case with Thanksgiving, as it always falls on Thursday. When asked about Christmas, he said, “So Thanksgiving is easy in our league because you know it’s on a Thursday. Christmas, I would say, now this falls on good of days you could have it fall on, and yet like I feel stress.” He added he didn‘t have the chance to shop and emphasized that it’s a deal of doing business.
