The Denver Broncos are opting to extend their road trip in an effort to prepare for the New York Jets on Sunday.
One might see their next stop as a reward for winning a game, but the Broncos’ week-long visit to the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.V. was pre-planned.at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, as opposed to taking them back to Denver and doing their prep at their facility in Englewood, Colo.
Why? Well, to hear Payton tell it, the Broncos started planning this even before the schedule came out earlier this year, knowing that a pair of trips to the east coast was in the cards. "We put in a request for two of the East Coast games to be back-to-back, so when the schedule came out it happened to be Tampa and the Jets. It could have been Baltimore , you know,". "The reason we put in the request was to stay in that time zone ... relative than going back and forth four times."
The Broncos confirmed to reporters covering the team that the franchise has never done this. But, a few teams have.The Greenbrier may be best known as the long-time home of PGA Tour legend Sam Snead. But the resort has built a relationship with the NFL for a decade. That started with building Sports Performance Center to host the New Orleans Saints for their 2014 training camp. Payton was the Saints’ coach back then.Payton hoped the trip would also bring about the chance for some team bonding as they’re led by a rookie quarterback, Bo Nix..
