Broncos coach Sean Payton has attributed those struggles to several factors, including his own scheme and play-calling. Payton has also said Denver might be rotating in too many different players, and he seemed to hint that some personnel changes could be on the way.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton's approach to the early season with rookie quarterback Bo Nix is under fire.

Now, some teams are capable of still being productive on the ground in those scenarios. The L.A.
