Bo Nix didn't have a banner night as a passer, but he was part of a dynamic rushing attack that is key to Denver's offensive growth.

Sean Payton, now in his second season with the Broncos, returned to New Orleans as an opposing head coach for the first time Thursday night.

And Payton left no doubt as to how emotional the end of the night will be for him. During an interview with Amazon Prime's Charissa Thompson that aired before the game, Payton got choked up when former Saints players such as linebacker Demario Davis and defensive end Cameron Jordan were mentioned.
