Sean Payton continues to showcase his risk-taking coaching style, reminiscent of his memorable onside kick in Super Bowl 44. Despite an unsuccessful attempt at another onside kick during his Denver Broncos debut against the Las Vegas Raiders, Payton has not shied away from making bold decisions.

New kicking rules have complicated the use of onside kicks in the NFL, allowing attempts only in the fourth quarter under specific conditions. This season, teams have struggled with the execution of these plays, further emphasizing the challenges coaches face.

Payton's approach in a recent game, including declining to attempt an onside kick to instead kick off, raised eyebrows as the Broncos faced a tough loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
