Sean Payton, head coach of the Denver Broncos, has turned his attention to the Washington Commanders, led by Dan Quinn. At the NFL owners' meetings in Palm Beach, Florida, Payton praised the Commanders, highlighting their well-coached unit and offensive tempo. He pointed out their effective use of no-huddle offense, which can neutralize home-field advantages during road games.

The impending matchup between Payton and Quinn, both former NFC South rivals, adds to the excitement of the 2025 season. Additionally, the spotlight will be on the two second-year quarterbacks: Jayden Daniels of the Commanders and Bo Nix of the Broncos. Daniels, who secured the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year title, faces rising expectations alongside Nix, who also had a commendable season, leading both teams to playoff appearances.
