If the Chargers knock off the AFC’s No. 2-seeded New England Patriots next week, Broncos head coach Sean Payton will have one heck of a bulletin-board video to pin up inside the Broncos’ facility.
After Denver ground out a 19-3 win over the Chargers in Week 18, ESPN reporter Kris Rhim posted a video to Twitter of Los Angeles safety Tony Jefferson walking back in an Empower Field tunnel with a few very choice words aimed at the Broncos.
“They suck, bro,” Jefferson said, seemingly aimed at nobody in particular. “I don’t care. I have no respect for them. I don’t like nobody on the Broncos.”
Jefferson then appeared to acknowledge the camera, pointed, and called Broncos safety JL Skinner a “homie” before continuing with a flurry of shots.
If Chargers beat Patriots in playoffs, they get another shot at Broncos
"Broncos suck, though," Jefferson continued as he walked into the locker room.
Denver fell miles short of a top-tier performance against a Chargers team that rested several key players Sunday, including quarterback Justin Herbert. The Broncos didn't score a single touchdown on offense, and Sean Payton's unit averaged just 4.1 yards per play in a sleepy gameplan against a conservative Los Angeles defense.
Jefferson, for his part, recorded a team-high eight tackles for Los Angeles.
These Broncos have fed all season off national narratives -- perceived or otherwise -- and any dose of bulletin-board material. When the Broncos' and Giants' fanbases got into an online sparring match in Week 7 over a few dismissive comments by outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper towards quarterback Jaxson Dart, Broncos defenders went on a social-media victory lap after a comeback win. And head coach Sean Payton has effectively planted an "underdog" mentality inside a 14-3 team that's now the holder of the AFC's No. 1 seed.

"They'll still give you all the reasons," Nix muttered, "why we're gonna lose the game."
Jefferson's comments could certainly wash away in the span before the AFC divisional round. But if Los Angeles beats 14-3 New England this coming Sunday, they'll be guaranteed to return to Denver in two weeks.
"We’ve got, like, backlogs of tape on the Chargers," Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Sunday night, in a discussion of Denver's bye-week plans. "They could very well be here in a couple weeks.”
