After a disappointing 13-6 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Broncos head coach Sean Payton faces pressing questions regarding the team's struggling run game, which managed just 64 yards against a formidable defense. Payton emphasized the need for patience and a tailored approach to optimize their offensive scheme.
The Broncos' run performance has been inconsistent since Payton's arrival, with five games under 100 rushing yards this season. Key running back Javonte Williams averaged a mere 1.5 yards per carry, while rookie quarterback Bo Nix was the surprising leading rusher.
