Ben Solak over at ESPN ranked every team’s coaching staff and the Denver Broncos jumped in ranking significantly over last year. Amazing what a franchise quarterback does to the perception of a team’s coaching staff, eh?
6. Denver Broncos
The Broncos’ leap from last season is the biggest change in these rankings. I was suspicious of Payton’s offense after a lackluster season with Russell Wilson, and I wondered what the ceiling was on a Joseph defense that had underwhelmed the past two seasons. They were both established, veteran coaches — but had the game passed them by?
