Looks like the Denver Bronco’s strong season last year was enough for the Broncos ownership to have complete faith in their head coach Sean Payton as he was awarded a new five-year contract.

Broncos Owner and CEO Greg Penner says “Sean Payton has led an impressive turnaround over the past 3 seasons, instilling a winning culture with high expectations.”

Last season the Broncos ended the season as the AFC West champions with a franchise record 14 wins and only ended during the AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots after Bo Nix was out with an ankle injury the game before.
