Broncos 4 downs: Vance Joseph’s defense showed up for Taylor Swift. Too bad Sean Payton, Jerry Jeudy didn’t.

Initial thoughts from Broncos’ 19-8 loss to Kansas City in Week 6 at GEHA Field:1. Sorry, Jerry. Steve Smith was right. Sean Payton has still never been shut out as an NFL coach. So there’s that. (Cue the golf claps.) But the Broncos’ first 17 pass plays of the evening also netted 31 yards. And the clock management? Yikes. This one felt funky right from the start. After clapping back at NFL Network analyst Steve Smith, causing Smith during the pregame to call the 2020 first-round pick a “tier 3” wide receiver, Broncos wideout Jerry Jeudy responded to the challenge by … catching three balls for 14 yards on five targets. Smith was right on the money, and Jeudy knows it. The truth hurts. And it hurts even more when it’s coming from one of the best at his position for a generation.2. Andy Reid messed around … and didn’t find out. Credit where it’s due — “off” coverage aside, Vance Joseph’s defense, in a flip o...
