Sean Payton will resume calling offensive plays for Broncos
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Davis Webb will no longer serve as the Broncos' offensive coordinator and play-caller starting this weekend, with head coach Sean Payton resuming play-calling duties.
- The decision follows a series of underwhelming offensive performances, including a poor Week 1 loss to the Chiefs and inconsistent showings in subsequent games.
- The timing of the change is strategic, allowing Payton to regain control before key upcoming games against the Chargers and Seahawks.
- The Broncos, who finished 14-3 last season, currently have a 2-2 record, making it critical to improve quickly to remain competitive for the AFC's top seed.
- Payton emphasized that as the team's head coach, he must make decisions necessary to meet the high expectations set by last year's success, with urgency mounting.
