Sean Payton says he's taking over playcalling for Broncos' offense
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton has taken over playcalling duties from offensive coordinator Davis Webb after four games of offensive struggles.
- The Broncos offense ranks near the bottom of the league in multiple categories, including scoring (27th), total yards (27th), and rushing yards (29th), with frequent three-and-out possessions.
- Quarterback Bo Nix's performance has been underwhelming, ranking 22nd in QBR and 27th in average air yards per attempt, reflecting the offense's lack of explosive plays.
- Payton expressed confidence in Webb's future as a head coach and emphasized that the decision was made in the team's best interest to improve offensive consistency.
- The Broncos have faced tough defenses in their first four games, but Payton hopes the change in playcalling will spark better offensive production against the Chargers, who have a weaker defense (24th in scoring defense).
