Sean Payton Strips Davis Webb of Play-Calling Duties Ahead of Broncos vs. Chargers
Bleacher Report • • general
Key Points:
- Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton will resume play-calling duties after a slow start to the season under offensive coordinator Davis Webb, following a 2-2 start and low offensive rankings.
- The Broncos currently rank 27th in both total offense and scoring offense, a significant drop from their 10th-place rankings in 2024, with quarterback Bo Nix posting career-low statistics.
- The team's rushing attack has also struggled, ranking 29th in the NFL with just 81.3 yards per game, led by JK Dobbins with 161 rushing yards.
- The Broncos face a critical upcoming road game against the winless Los Angeles Chargers, where a loss could hurt their playoff chances and deepen their AFC West deficit behind the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs.
- Davis Webb, previously the Broncos quarterbacks coach and offensive pass game coordinator, had been promoted to offensive coordinator and play-caller in 2026 but struggled to maintain the offense's previous success.
