Sean Paytons Bold Call: Did Denver Broncos Coachs Decision Boost or Hurt Chances in AFC Championship Game? In the first half of the AFC Championship Game, Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton made a controversial call, opting to go for it on fourth-and-one instead of kicking a field goal. The move, led by backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham, resulted in a turnover and no points. While some analysts argue it increased Denvers win probability, others claim it dropped their chances. The decision proved costly as Stidham fumbled later, leading to a Patriots touchdown. The game remained tied at seven as both teams headed to the locker room.
