Denver Broncos struggle in Davis Webb's playcalling debut against Chiefs

Summary

In a mismatch at Arrowhead Stadium on September 14, 2026, the Denver Broncos faced significant struggles in their season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Offensive coordinator Davis Webb's debut as a play caller was marked by poor offensive execution, including multiple turnovers by quarterback Bo Nix and a lack of production in the running game. The Broncos were unable to effectively utilize their roster, resulting in only 61 rushing yards compared to the Chiefs' 220. Webb will need to improve quickly in future games or risk Sean Payton reclaiming play-calling duties.
