<p>On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dive into the moment Broncos Country still can’t shake: Sean Payton passing on the field goal in the AFC Championship, going for it on 4th down in the red zone… and coming up empty. Denver lost by three. The math is brutal, the optics are worse, and the question now is unavoidable — how much does Payton actually regret that decision. The guys break down what they’re hearing inside the building, how Payton has addressed the call privately versus publicly, and why Chris Simms’ Super Bowl‑week comments might hit a nerve with the Broncos’ head coach. Did Simms simply say what everyone else is thinking, or did he cross a line that could spark a response from Payton. 🔥 In this episode: How much Payton truly regrets the 4th‑down gamble Why the decision still stings inside the organization What Chris Simms said — and why it could irritate Payton How this moment shapes Denver’s offseason narrative Whether this becomes a turning point or a lingering scar A controversial call, a national voice weighing in, and a head coach who doesn’t forget criticism — today’s OBT gets spicy.</p>
