The Denver Broncos were at crossroads after having a dreadful season. It was a time when the fans were questioning the franchise’s capability. The team went through a drastic mentorship change after their season ended. They would now have a Super Bowl-winning head coach. The franchise is hiring Sean Payton, and the news has erupted in merriment among Broncos Country.

The Broncos had a season full of developments. The franchise underwent an ownership change and also got hold of Russell Wilson. However, the year did not end well after the team failed to set a benchmark. The franchise fired Nathaniel Hackett after their season and was on an intense hunt for their new head coach.
