The Denver Broncos are looking to go a few steps further this season after bowing out in the AFC Championship a season ago, and they made one major change to help them do that. Head coach Sean Payton will no longer be calling plays for the Broncos, instead handing off those duties to new offensive coordinator Davis Webb.
Webb garnered consideration as an OC candidate around the NFL this offseason, so Payton made it a priority to keep him in Denver this offseason. Before Denver takes on the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football in Week 1, quarterback Bo Nix talked about why having a new OC might make things tougher on the Chiefs in the season opener, via Romi Bean of CBS News Colorado.

“I think it’s tougher on them for sure because you just don’t know necessarily his style,” Nix said. “I’ve been around Davis for a few years, understanding what he likes, doesn’t like, the kind of style he’s gonna call the game with and stuff like that.
“Overall, I think it’s tougher for them to respond and adjust. At the end of the day, professional football is professional football, everybody seems to be doing similar things. They’re gonna play man or zone, we’re gonna run or pass, it’s really easy once you get down to it. It’ll be a cool little match to see Davis, his first game calling plays against arguably one of the better DCs in the league.”
Nix missed that AFC Championship loss a season ago with an ankle injury, so he will be hungry after coming back and getting healthy this offseason. The Broncos have a ton of continuity on their roster, and even added explosive wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the roster to give Nix another elite weapon on the outside.
If the transition to Webb as the new play-caller goes smoothly, the Broncos could go from what was an inconsistent offense a season ago to one that could finish in the top 10 in the NFL in 2026.
