The Denver Broncos faced a disappointing defeat against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2, losing 13-6 at Empower Field during rookie quarterback Bo Nix's first home game.
Fans were left unfulfilled as Russell Wilson did not play an impactful role, while Broncos coach Sean Payton faced criticism for conservative play-calling situations. A promising deep pass by Nix to Josh Reynolds briefly lifted spirits, but issues with the offensive line and trust in the quarterback remain evident.
With a 0-5 record in September under Payton, it has become clear that the Broncos are in a significant rebuild phase.
