Focus on Execution
Sean Payton emphasized that fixing the Broncos offense comes down to the specifics of each play rather than shifting who makes the calls. The team ranks 27th in scoring and total yards per game, 29th in rushing yards per game, 20th in passing yards per game, 23rd in QBR and 22nd in Offensive EPA. Payton noted the current output falls short of championship standards and highlighted the need to address the underlying reasons after this early stretch.
Quarterback and Big-Play Metrics
Bo Nix stands 22nd in QBR at 46.1 and 27th in average air yards per attempt at 5.9. The offense ranks 29th in plays of 20 or more yards and 30th in explosive plays with just 16 through four games. In the 24-14 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, running back RJ Harvey paced the team with 10 targets and 10 receptions while averaging 6.8 yards per catch.
