We’ll never know what would’ve happened if Sean Payton chose to just kick that field goal in the first half of the AFC Championship Game before the snow came. Or will we?

We know you can play out this specific scenario because the game displayed it in their game reveal teaser on Thursday night. Caleb Williams will be on the cover as revealed in a video starring Vince Vaughn, you can do tush pushes, manage players via a new persona engine and they’ve re-worked the catching mechanic. All of it looks solid, but for Broncos fans — the note that will catch the most eyes is the weather, highlighted in Denver.
