Davis Webb's brief tenure as the play-caller for the Denver Broncos has come to an end after just four weeks. Head coach Sean Payton has decided to reclaim his role, aiming to address the team's offensive struggles. This shift comes as the Broncos prepare for a critical Week 5 matchup against the 0-4 Los Angeles Chargers.

While it's still unclear whether Payton will assume full control or share responsibilities with Webb, reports indicate that he will take a more active role in the play-calling process. The Broncos currently sit at 2-2, having struggled significantly on offense, scoring only 13 first-half points across four games—the lowest in the NFL.

Key statistics highlight the team's difficulties:

• 81.3 rushing yards per game (29th in the league)
• 27th overall in points per game
• 24th overall in yards per play

Payton had previously entrusted Webb with the play-calling duties, believing in his potential after promoting him from quarterbacks coach. However, after a lackluster start to the season, which included a dismal run game and poor first-half performances, the decision to revert back to Payton seems necessary.

In addressing Webb's performance, Payton emphasized the need for detailed execution, noting that the team collectively needs to improve. The urgency to revamp the offensive strategy is heightened by their upcoming opponents, the Chargers, who have allowed an average of 26.5 points per game this season.

With another challenging game against the Seattle Seahawks looming in Week 6, Payton's experience as a successful play-caller could be crucial in turning around the Broncos' fortunes. The pressure is on Payton to deliver results quickly, as the Broncos aim to regain their competitive edge.
