Sources: Sean Payton to expand role in Broncos' playcalling process
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The Denver Broncos plan to adopt a more collaborative playcalling approach Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, with head coach Sean Payton taking a more active role alongside offensive coordinator Davis Webb.
- Payton, who had previously delegated playcalling to Webb, will be more involved on the headset during games to help address the Broncos' struggling offense, which ranks near the bottom of the league in multiple categories.
- The Broncos have faced challenges including inconsistent rushing, poor first-down performance, and a lack of explosive plays, contributing to their 2-2 record and low offensive rankings.
- Quarterback Bo Nix's performance has been underwhelming, with low QBR and average air yards per attempt, reflecting the team's broader offensive difficulties.
- Payton emphasized focusing on details and correcting small mistakes rather than making major changes, aiming to improve consistency and overall offensive execution against the Chargers.
