Broncos OC Davis Webb: Payton's Play-Calling Revealed?
6 Feb
Summary
- Broncos promote Davis Webb to Offensive Coordinator, replacing Joe Lombardi.
- Sean Payton's play-calling duties remain uncertain for the upcoming season.
- Offensive efficiency in the run game and red zone are key priorities for Denver.
The Denver Broncos are focusing on critical offensive improvements heading into the next season under head coach Sean Payton and newly appointed Offensive Coordinator Davis Webb. Webb, who fielded numerous head coach and coordinator interview requests, has been promoted to lead the offense.
A significant question remains whether Payton will relinquish play-calling responsibilities to Webb, a decision yet to be officially announced but expected to be addressed soon. This continuity is crucial for quarterback Bo Nix, who will either work with Payton for a third year or Webb, with whom he has spent considerable time.
Improving the run game is a top priority, especially after losing J.K. Dobbins to injury impacted their under-center rushing efficiency. The Broncos aim for a more dependable rushing attack to control games, moving away from relying on close wins.
Red-zone efficiency also needs attention, as the team's touchdown rate dropped in 2025. Nix's completion percentage and efficiency in this area decreased, necessitating better execution on third downs within the red zone to convert opportunities into touchdowns.
