Broncos Coach Payton to Take Larger Offensive Role vs Chargers

Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton is set to take a larger role in offensive play-calling against the Los Angeles Chargers after the team’s offense struggled through a 2-2 start. Reports differ on whether Payton is fully reclaiming play-calling or adopting a more collaborative approach, but offensive coordinator Davis Webb is expected to remain involved in game planning and on game day. Denver ranks 27th in both scoring and total offense and is coming off a 24-14 loss to San Francisco. Payton called plays during the Broncos’ 14-3 season in 2025, before handing those duties to Webb this year.
