Increased Involvement from Payton
The Denver Broncos plan a more collaborative approach to playcalling in their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Sean Payton will have a greater presence in the process during possessions while Davis Webb remains the primary voice on the headset for quarterback Bo Nix. Payton had handed over playcalling duties to Webb earlier but stayed active in game planning and meetings. The team aims to address early inconsistencies, particularly in the running game and on first downs that lead to tough situations.
Current Offensive Rankings
Denver enters the contest at 2-2 but ranks near the bottom of the league in several categories. The Broncos sit 27th in scoring and total yards per game, 29th in rushing yards, 20th in passing yards, 23rd in QBR and 22nd in offensive EPA at minus 7.48. They have seen 27.5 percent of possessions end in three-and-outs. Bo Nix ranks 22nd in QBR at 46.1 and 27th in average air yards per attempt at 5.9. The club is also 29th in plays of 20 or more yards and 30th in explosive plays with just 16 so far.
Focus on Details
Payton has stressed attention to the little things rather than major schematic changes as the Broncos prepare to face the 0-4 Chargers at SoFi Stadium. The emphasis remains on correcting issues quickly after evaluating recent performances to build consistency across the offense.
