Broncos' comeback vs Giants was historic but flawed in a way that concerns Sean Payton

DENVER (AP) — If Sunday night felt like a party to the Denver Broncos, on Monday they dealt with the hangover of their 33-32 win over the New York Giants that featured one of the most improbable comebacks in NFL history.

“We gave up five or six third-and-10 or fourth-and-long conversions,” coach Sean Payton said as he prepared for what was sure to be a fire-and-brimstone speech to his players during their day-after film review. “Offensively, we really didn’t amount to anything until we got into the end of the game, fourth quarter. Mental errors, mistakes, snaps, wrong reads, you name it.”
