Sean Payton aimlessly drove around for food he doesn’t even like after the Broncos’ uninspiring win

Theoretically, with 10 games remaining, the Denver Broncos can still make something of the 2023 season. There’s no need to punt away what is a long grind of a year. In reality, after defeating the Green Bay Packers 19-17 on Sunday, a mediocre Denver team is just 2-5. It is fighting uphill to even just sneak into the AFC playoff field.

Try as he might deny it, Sean Payton understands the tall odds facing his team. And he probably knows that the Broncos got very lucky to escape a fellow middling Packers team.

On Monday, according to Mike Klis of Denver’s 9NEWS, Payton said Denver’s victory seemingly only frustrated him. While heading home, he drove around for sushi — which he doesn’t even like — and eventually found he was circling the parking lot because he wasn’t happy with the Broncos’ first home win of the 2023 season:

Payton would later follow up that he was picking up sushi for his family to celebrate. But that still doesn’t change how he aimlessly drove around for a bit beforehand, thanks to the Broncos’ mediocrity:

Who among us hasn’t been there? The Insert Team we love and devote so much of our weekend time to only serves as a consistent point of frustration. So, in response, we randomly drive or walk or run around after their latest uninspiring exploits, wondering why we chose this fate.

Sean Payton: We are with you, sir.
