Mike Florio Sat, October 31, 2026 at 1:47 AM UTC · 1 min read About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Broncos coach Sean Payton, with five wins in 2026, now sits one win short of a milestone only 11 other NFL coaches have achieved.
Payton's next win will give him 200 for his career, including the postseason. His first crack at No. 200 comes on Sunday against the Chiefs.
He has coached 319 games, generating a record of 199-120. He's 189-110 in the regular season and 10-10 in the playoffs.
With two more wins, Payton will catch Dan Reeves and Mike Tomlin for 10th on the all-time list. Four more wins after that will put Payton even with Marty Schottenheimer, at 205. Chuck Noll is No. 8 with 209. Paul Brown is No. 7 with 222.
Payton, 62, could eventually catch Tom Landry at No. 5, at 270.
He's also angling to be the first coach to win a Super Bowl with two different teams. Other coaches currently in position to chase that distinction include Giants coach John Harbaugh and Steelers coach Mike McCarthy.
