In the aftermath of a tough 13-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton took responsibility for the team's faltering offense, citing the need for significant improvements. With quarterback Russell Wilson sidelined due to injury, backup Justin Fields got the game ball, highlighting the Broncos' struggles.
Payton noted the importance of optimizing player utilization, particularly regarding the running game, as rookie Audric Estime was absent and practice squad player Tyler Badie had limited touches despite a strong run. The Broncos' running backs struggled to gain momentum, as the offense needed to find the right players to create opportunities on the field.
As Payton reflects on the consecutive losses, the team gears up for a challenging road trip to Tampa Bay, looking to reverse their fortunes with improved offensive strategies and better player rotations.
