Payton defends Nix against analyst criticism

Broncos coach Sean Payton took to social media to defend quarterback Bo Nix against criticism from former NFL player and current Fox analyst Geoff Schwartz. After Nix's preseason finale, Payton responded to Schwartz's claim that the quarterback doesn't "push the ball down the field all that often" by stating, "Always easy to tell who works at it and who doesn't."

When asked about the social media defense, Payton told reporters he couldn't help but respond to what he considered an inaccurate take. "I see something like that, I'm sorry, it's just, I have a pause and then it's like, 'What are you watching?'" Payton said, adding that Schwartz played at Oregon and should know better about the quarterback's abilities. afsport.lat
