Payton defends Nix against Schwartz criticism

Broncos coach Sean Payton took to Twitter to defend quarterback Bo Nix against former NFL player Geoff Schwartz's claim that Nix doesn't "push the ball down the field all that often." Payton responded with: "Always easy to tell who works at it and who doesn't."

When asked about his comments, Payton told reporters he couldn't help but respond to what he considered inaccurate criticism. "I just couldn't help myself with that one. It was silly," Payton said, noting that Schwartz played at Oregon and questioning whether he had actually watched Nix play. Payton also criticized what he called "basement podcast with the beer logo" takes. xsportfeed.life
