🏈 Broncos’ Problems May Be Too Vast For Payton

Sean Payton came in with a plan, but Sunday showed there may be too many issues to fix. [View in browser]( In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Sean Payton came in with a plan to fix the Broncos, but can they be fixed? … After an incredible offensive outburst, Miami is taking aim at the NFL record books … and more! Sean Payton talked big. No problem there. The National Football League is a place for the bold, both in terms of actions and words, and the incoming Denver Broncos head coach wasn't shy about setting a verbal stake in the ground. There's only one caveat attached to the summer flex. You'd better be prepared to back it up, quickly. Otherwise … ouch. Ouch is what happened to Payton and the Broncos on Sunday, because ouch is unavoidable when you get 70 — yes, 70 — points piled upon you, the kind of score line where the first response is to wonder whether you're looking at a typo. Denver found itself decimated by Tua Tagovailoa and the incredible Miami Dolphins running game, the eye-popping 70-20 beatdown giving Miami the highest points tally in an NFL game since 1966. Flex no more. Those days of pouring scorn on predecessor Nathaniel Hackett, the apparent culprit of one of the "worst coaching jobs in NFL history" are gone. The assured promises that Payton would get Russell Wilson back to being an A-plus quarterback have lost all their resonance. Now Payton, in the court of public opinion, is playing defense. If only his actual defense would do the same. "Every once in a while, in this league, you get your butt whooped," Payton said. "But this was more than that."

[BET OF THE DAY] Philadelphia Eagles (-4.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 7:15 p.m. E.T. on Monday Pick: Eagles to win by more than 4.5 points From FOX Sports Wagering Expert: Chris Fallica This line looks eerily low, but I’m gonna bite. I don’t think the Eagles are the team they were last year, but despite being 2-0, there really isn't much to like about the Buccaneers. They won a turnover fest in Minnesota and then beat arguably the worst team in the league in Chicago. The Eagles defense is the best unit on the field, and I’d expect it to show that here.
