As the Denver Broncos struggle offensively, their defense has managed to hold its ground despite expectations of a tougher season. The offense's performance has been disappointing, generating a concerning -26.49 expected points and scoring only one touchdown across two games.

Head coach Sean Payton faces challenges with play-calling predictability and player execution. The team must work on keeping defenses guessing and improving individual performances as they head into matchups against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets.
