Payton noted that he gave now-Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady his first NFL job. That was back in 2017, when Brady joined the New Orleans Saints as an offensive assistant.

Joe Brady's first job in the NFL was as an offensive assistant under Sean Payton with the Saints.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Sean Payton said at his season-ending news conference Tuesday that Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a preexisting ankle condition that make a fracture inevitable. Nix broke a bone in his right ankle on Denver's game-winning drive in the Broncos' 33-30 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs.

In his season-ending press conference, coach Sean Payton was asked about the possibility of offensive pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Davis Webb staying in the division as the next head coach of the Raiders. “ It’d be a pain in the ass for him ,” Payton said, via Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette.

Broncos QB Bo Nix, who was spotted using a knee scooter at Sunday's game, spoke with Jarrett Stidham in the locker room after the loss.
