Broncos' Sean Payton Says He Forgot It Was 4th Down Before Late 1H Timeout vs. Chiefs
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton is finding new ways to add to what has already been a miserable season for him and the organization.
Payton admitted to making a "boneheaded mistake" because he got the downs confused when he called a timeout late in the first half of the Broncos' 19-8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.
