You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Sean Payton has seen enough. The Broncos head coach is stripping offensive playcalling duties away from his coordinator and taking the reins himself, effective Sunday against the Chargers. Denver's offense has been struggling to generate any real rhythm this season, and Payton is clearly done waiting for a turnaround that hasn't come.
Meanwhile in the NFL's other big storyline, Washington's offensive coordinator confirmed that Jayden Daniels will be fully cleared and without any restrictions when the Commanders face the Giants on Sunday. For a team building around their franchise quarterback, that's exactly the kind of news you want heading into the week, and it puts Washington firmly in the spotlight.
And over in baseball, the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm is speaking out about something that's been burning through the postseason conversation. After watching the Astros get booed off their own field during their wild-card exit to the White Sox, Chisholm is raising the same question about home fans turning on their teams during the playoffs. It's a tension that cuts deep in a city like New York, where expectations never come with patience.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
