The Broncos (1-4) didn't have much time to decipher all that went wrong in their 31-21 loss to offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and the New York Jets on Sunday because they have a short turnaround before a Thursday night game at Kansas City.
The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs have won four straight after losing to Detroit at home to open the season, and they haven't lost to the Broncos since 2015.
Too many things need their attention for the Broncos to harp on their long losing streak to the Chiefs. The Broncos were hoping a soft early schedule would jump-start them in Payton's first season, but instead they've lost at home to the underdog Raiders, Commanders and Jets.The Chiefs have been winning despite being less than their stellar selves of late, squeaking past the Jets and Vikings the last two weeks.
"Those are the things that, when you really look at it, a championship team has," Payton said,"and they’re playing well in all three areas."Denver's defense was gashed again on the ground Sunday and failed to force Jets quarterback Zach Wilson to beat them through the air. Returner Marvin Mims Jr. muffed another punt and the Broncos followed up a decent first half offensively with a five-drive stretch to start the second half in which they netted minus-18 yards.
