Broncos HC Sean Payton seems to leave door open to major play-calling change

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton addressed the play-calling situation on Sunday following the team's 24-14 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. This marked the Broncos' second consecutive two-game losing streak, with them now trailing the unbeaten Chiefs in the AFC West. Payton handed over the play-calling responsibilities to first-year offensive coordinator Davis Webb this offseason, the first time in his coaching career that someone else would call plays full-time.

Payton had indicated in February that he would only do this if it would benefit the team, setting a supportive tone and stating that they would not grade Webb's play-calling each week.
