Sean Payton expressed regret after the Denver Broncos lost to the Los Angeles Chargers, ending their four-game winning streak and missing a chance to secure a playoff spot for the first time since 2015.
A key moment was a 15-yard penalty by Tremon Smith that allowed the Chargers to attempt a rare fair-catch kick, leading to a pivotal field goal by Cameron Dicker.
Despite a strong start, the Broncos faltered in the second half, raising concerns as they prepare for upcoming games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs.
