Shocker: Sean Payton reclaims play-calling duties
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Denver Broncos are shifting to a more collaborative play-calling approach, with head coach Sean Payton taking on a larger role in the process.
- This change effectively means Payton is reclaiming play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Davis Webb, although Webb will still contribute significantly to game planning and game-day decisions.
- Reports indicate that Webb is no longer on the headset during games, confirming Payton’s increased control over the offense.
- The move comes amid the Broncos' struggles, as they rank 27th in points per game and 21st in expected points added (EPA) per play, reflecting a disappointing offensive performance.
- Payton, known for his offensive expertise, likely anticipated taking back play-calling duties if the offense faltered, though the quick timing of this change was unexpected.
