NFL world reacts to insane Denver Broncos, Caleb Williams theory

The Denver Broncos hired former New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton after a disastrous 2022 campaign.

The early returns on Payton’s tenure, however, aren’t great.

The Broncos fell to 1-5 on the season on Thursday night in a 19-8 loss to their AFC West rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Russell Wilson played one of the worst games of his career, too.

Many NFL observers are speculating that Payton might bench Wilson given the Broncos have a 10-day layoff until they host the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 22.

While that would almost essentially be a waiving the white flag on the season, that might all be all part of the grand plan, according to a new theory floating around social media.

This week, an old appearance of Sean Payton on The Herd with Colin Cowherd resurfaced. In it, Payton called USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams a “generational player,” that teams would tank for.

In response, he predicted the NFL would institute an NBA-like lottery system to the draft to ensure that teams couldn’t guarantee their draft spots due to tanking.

The NFL world was quick to react to the past appearance given the new light of the Broncos’ ongoing struggles

The Green Bay Packers are heading into Week Seven with a 2-3 record.  If the Packers want to make the playoffs in Jordan Love’s first year as a starter, the offense will need to kick it up a notch.  Through the first five games we have seen inconsistent play from the offense, however, one thing has remained consistent.  When Aaron Jones is on the field, the team wins football games.

The Packers have a record of 32-8 when Aaron Jones gets at least 15 touches in a game.  That type of statistic is not only shocking, but shows how important Jones is to this team.  Jones has missed a significant part of this season due to a lingering hamstring injury.

The Packers received good news at Monday’s practice on the status of Jones coming off the team’s bye week. According to Matt Schneidman with The Athletic, Jones was seen practicing with the team.

That’s a good sign for his availability against the Broncos. Jones has been the Packers most efficient running back this season. He has 59 yards on 14 attempts for an average of 4.2 yards per rush.

The Broncos are the perfect team for Jones and the Packers to get back on track running the football. The Broncos’ defense ranks 32nd in the league in rushing yards given up per game, with 172.3 yards surrendered on average.

Getting Jones back on the field means this offense could see a huge boost in the amount of points they score.  The Packers have scored 20 or less points in each of their last three games.  When fans saw that #33 was back on the field, they took to social media to react:

The Packers will travel to Colorado this week to take on the Denver Broncos.  Kickoff is set for 3:25 CT this Sunday.
