Payton Reclaims Offensive Play-Calling Duties After Four-Game Struggle
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton is resuming offensive play-calling duties for the Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, ending the experiment of handing those responsibilities to offensive coordinator Davis Webb. The decision follows a 2-2 start in which the offense ranked 27th in the NFL in scoring and total offense. Payton had previously ceded play-calling to Webb after a 14-3 season, but recent struggles, including a 31-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and a 24-14 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, prompted the reversal. The move aims to stabilize quarterback Bo Nix’s performance before a critical Week 6 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
