The Denver Broncos are implementing a significant change in their offensive strategy before facing the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5. Head coach Sean Payton will take on a larger role in calling plays, shifting from the previous structure that had offensive coordinator Davis Webb in charge. Denver's offense has struggled this season, ranking near the bottom in total points and offensive yards per game. There are hopes that Payton's increased involvement will spark improvement against the Chargers, who have also faced offensive struggles. The upcoming game is set to be a test for both teams as they seek to find offensive rhythm.
