Sean Payton Called out by NFL Coach for Onside Kick vs. Raiders: Reason Broncos Lost

At least one NFL coach thought the Denver Broncos' Sean Payton was a little too cavalier with his decision to attempt an onside kick to open Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

"How about him starting the game with an onside kick?" the coach said to Mike Sando of The Athletic. "That's him wanting to be the guy that started the game with an onside kick and having it be the reason they won. But when you really get down to it, it was the reason they lost. That was the Raiders' touchdown drive. They didn't do anything else til the end.
