Monday Night Football's contest featuring the Cleveland Browns at the Denver Broncos will be a reunion of sorts between a quarterback and his former head coach. Browns quarterback Jameis Winston played for Sean Payton during their time together with the New Orleans Saints.

Sean Payton coached Jameis Winston for two of the four seasons the 30-year-old signal caller was in New Orleans.

Last year, the Denver Broncos went into the season with Justin Simmons and Kareem Jackson as their starting safeties. Caden Sterns was listed as a co-starter with Jackson, but he suffered a torn patellar tendon in Week 1. That injury left P.J. Locke, Delarrin Turner-Yell and JL Skinner as the team’s backup safeties in 2023.
