Sean Payton has maintained a commitment to the run game for the Broncos, even during struggles. His patience with the running backs has begun to pay off, as demonstrated by Badie's impactful performance, which included a decisive 43-yard run that helped the team control the clock and secure the victory against the Buccaneers. Payton's strategy suggests he values the momentum of a player on a hot streak, indicating a possible shift toward utilizing Badie more in the running back rotation while still balancing the existing plans for Williams and McLaughlin.
