Sean Payton's Denver debut was a lot like Nathaniel Hackett's even down to the exact final score. Both lost their first game 17-16 and many of the problems that dogged Hackett a year ago also pestered Payton on Sunday.
just four snaps into his Jets debut Monday night, taking some luster off the league’s biggest storyline this season.
Hackett infamously settled for a 64-yard field goal attempt by Brandon McManus, a head-scratching decision that backfired and sent the Broncos on a season-long tailspin that cost Hackett his job after 15 games. The Broncos’ special teams was worst of all, with a botched onside kick to start the game, a crucial holding call negating a big early return and a dismal debut from Wil Lutz, the reliable kicker Payton had in New Orleans whom he acquired from the Saints two week ago for a late-round draft pick.
Combined with the absence of top receiver Jerry Jeudy , Dulcich’s departure left the Broncos without any downfield threats and Wilson was forced to dink and dunk his way through a 52-yard second half. A lack of pressure and a lack of discipline also doomed Denver, especially safety Kareem Jackson’s 15-yarder for a helmet hit on Meyers on Las Vegas’ final drive.
