Denver’s offense continued to struggle in a 24-14 loss to San Francisco, with no TD until late and an average of about 18.5 points per game through the early season. The questions surrounding offensive play-calling and scheme revolve around Davis Webb and Sean Payton, who may modify the coaching or personnel to unlock explosive plays. Key problems include a tepid running game, underutilization of Jaylen Waddle, and penalties that stalled drives, while veteran receivers and linemen have yet to produce consistently. The team faces a pivotal period as it weighs adjustments and aims to avoid a slide after a rocky four-game stretch, ahead of a Monday Night Football feature and a broader assessment of its offensive identity.
