Eventually, Evan Engram’s body language said enough for Sean Payton to speak up.
The touches weren’t there on Sunday through three quarters. They hadn’t been this year. Payton trotted out reserve tight end Lucas Krull on Denver’s first offensive series of 2025 and has kept trusty Adam Trautman on the field for a majority of the Broncos’ snaps. As Denver sank in Philadelphia, their $23 million mismatch tight end again felt more like a mismatch for Payton’s offense than he did for opposing defenses.
Payton sensed frustration, as Engram had one catch for minus-3 yards late into the third.
