Sean Payton’s instructions for playoff atmosphere: ‘No shell games on the scoreboard’

Sean Payton is not here for the Empower Field scoreboard trivia.

Shuffle caps? Kiss cams? This date in history?

The time for all of that is long gone, according to the Broncos head coach.

Payton is, of course, focused on getting his Denver team prepared for a Week 18 game with real stakes. If the Broncos beat the Los Angeles Chargers — playing without quarterback Justin Herbert and likely several other starters — on Sunday on what’s slated to be a near-60-degree afternoon, they will capture the No. 1 seed in the AFC and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
