Broncos' Sean Payton, Russell Wilson enter opener with a lot stake. Both have history of success in season openers
ENGLEWOOD – It was a blistering hot and dry morning in Colorado, and Sean Payton had seen enough. He barked at an offensive lineman for a false start during a training camp practice. Payton runs volcanic hot at times, and this brief lava spew spoke of his lacking patience in mistakes.
It's fair to argue that no player has more at stake this season than Wilson. Sure, Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott and Jordan Love are under pressure, but Wilson sits with his blinker on at a career crossroads.
“It works,” Payton told me last week. “I think in the very beginning all these guys I will be sarcastic with them and have fun with them. We try to create as much pressure as we can during the week so when game day comes you are reacting and playing fast. This guy has been in tons of big spots, championship games, Super Bowls, throughout his career. That’s what puts him in that class where he’s at. Listen, he has certain expectation of himself. He’s looked good.
