Sean Payton coached Jameis Winston for two of the four seasons the 30-year-old signal caller was in New Orleans.

Last year, the Denver Broncos went into the season with Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson as their starting safeties. Caden Sterns was listed as a co-starter with Jackson, but he suffered a torn patellar tendon in Week 1. That injury left P.J. Locke, Delarrin Turner-Yell and JL Skinner as the team’s backup safeties in 2023.

And yet, in Week 13, that optimism may take an absolute nosedive if Sean Payton's Broncos have anything to say about it, as, after a slow start to the season, Denver has been on fire in a loaded AFC West.
