The Denver Broncos wrapped up the season as the AFC's top seed, yet there was an underlying sense of unease under the guidance of head coach Sean Payton. Despite boasting a formidable defense, the Broncos' offense struggled to find its rhythm consistently.
The situation took a turn for the worse when quarterback Bo Nix suffered a season-ending injury during the playoffs. This setback was a major blow in the AFC Championship, costing Denver a golden shot at the Super Bowl.
In response to these challenges, a significant shift is happening within the Broncos' coaching staff. According to ESPN’s senior NFL insider Adam Schefter, head coach Sean Payton has announced that offensive coordinator Davis Webb will take over play-calling duties this season.
This decision has sparked various reactions from fans on social media. One fan expressed optimism, noting that with Payton focusing on overall game management, the Broncos could see a more balanced team.
Another fan raised questions about how much autonomy Webb will actually have, suggesting that this change might bring more questions than answers. Meanwhile, some fans welcomed the change, feeling a fresh approach to play-calling might be just what the team needs.
As the Broncos prepare for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on Davis Webb to see how he handles his new responsibilities and what impact it will have on Denver’s offensive performance.
