Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton did not mince words following the win over the Las Vegas Raiders on “Thursday Night Football.”

Former Denver Broncos coaches Mike Shanahan and Dan Reeves are among the nine semifinalists in the coaching category for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton’s 4th-quarter play-calling mastery has turned the team into the NFL’s clutch comeback machine.

The Denver Broncos could add a Super Bowl champion, whom head coach Sean Payton knows well and is very fond of.

Two of the Broncos’ Ring of Fame head coaches are another step closer to reaching the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Shanahan has an even bigger case to be in the Hall of Fame. His 170 career wins currently rank at No. 19 in NFL history, but his back-to-back Super Bowl wins in 1997 and 1998, as well as his reputation for being one of the top offensive minds of all-time, should put him over the top.

Over the course of the last three games, second-round rookie running back RJ Harvey has notched a receiving touchdown in each contest. He scored three touchdowns in Week 8's win over the Dallas Cowboys, and his emergence as a dynamic weapon has been tantalizing.

The Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos begin Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season. Denver is 7-2 while the Raiders are 2-6, which is not unusual to see for Las Vegas but the special interest this year is Pete Carroll as head coach and Geno Smith at quarterback.
