Overview
- The Broncos fell to 2-2 after Sunday's 24-14 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and have failed to reach double digits by halftime in all four games this season.
- Head coach Sean Payton said the question of changing play-call duties is "fair" and "too early" to decide while he confirmed he has not resumed calling plays.
- Quarterback Bo Nix publicly backed 31-year-old offensive coordinator Davis Webb, saying he is "real confident" in Webb despite the offense's early struggles.
- A costly third-quarter turnover — Marvin Mims Jr.'s punt-return fumble recovered at the Denver 28 — swung momentum and led directly to a 49ers score that affected the outcome.
- Media and NFL voices have increased pressure on the team and several pundits suggested the Week 5 game versus the winless Chargers could be the near-term inflection point for any play-calling change.
