In the aftermath of a disappointing 41-10 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton emphasized the importance of self-reflection and accountability. The loss marked a significant setback for the Broncos, who had been riding a wave of momentum with five wins in their previous six games.
Payton did not shy away from the harsh reality of the game, stating, “We got whipped today” and recognizing that his team failed to perform against a strong opponent.
He urged his players to “look inward” and take ownership of their performance, highlighting the necessity of facing the harsh truths of the game rather than placing blame elsewhere.
The Broncos’ defense, which had been a strong point earlier in the season, was unable to contain the Ravens’ offense, allowing 396 yards and 41 points. Payton noted that the team was outplayed in all three phases of the game.
Rookie quarterback Bo Nix struggled against the Ravens’ defense, throwing an interception on his first pass and completing only 19 of 33 attempts for 223 yards. Payton acknowledged the need for improvement in execution, particularly on critical fourth-down plays.
With the Broncos set to face the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs next week, Payton stressed the importance of moving forward quickly and learning from the mistakes made against Baltimore [[1]](https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/denver-broncos-big-loss-baltimore-ravens-coach-sean-payton-whipped/).
