Can the Broncos Keep Winning Close Games — Will Sean Payton’s Blueprint Work? | Orange & Blue Today

On Tuesday’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason and Cecil Lammey break down the latest DenverSports.com piece on Sean Payton and his plan for the Broncos to buck the NFL trend of teams that rack up 10+ one‑score wins… then crash back to earth the following season. Last year, the Broncos were elite in tight games, thriving in late‑game situations and finishing drives when it mattered most. But history says that kind of success is almost impossible to sustain.

Mase and Cecil break down the depth chart, the opportunity cost, and why Lohner’s development timeline now becomes one of the most important storylines of training camp. 🔥 In this episode: Why Lohner’s absence matters more than fans think How the TE depth chart shifts over the next two weeks Who benefits most from Lohner missing reps Whether this impacts his 53‑man roster odds What Lohner must show when he returns for training camp Drop your take — is this just a minor bump, or a real opening for someone else in the TE room.
