While Mike Tomlin’s Steelers fell apart in the season half, Sean Payton has the Denver Broncos cruising with a thrilling overtime victory. The hottest team in the league, Denver is now the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and Payton has won nine in a row. On the flip side, Tomlin has lost five of his last seven games.
That means we have finally hit the tipping point. Having run parallel for so long during their peaks, Tomlin once pulled away from Payton. But now for the first time in a long time, it’s Payton who has the higher career winning percentage.
