## Resource

Denver Broncos’ brutal 31-10 loss to the Chiefs exposed a troubling shift in offensive strategy — with QB Bo Nix struggling under new play-caller Davis Webb, sparking fiery criticism from LeSean McCoy. Once a quarterback-friendly system under Sean Payton last year — which helped Nix lead the team to a 14-3 record and the AFC title game — now feels like it’s treating Nix as a finished product instead of building around his strengths. With Nix sacked four times, throwing for just 131 yards and one interception, the offense barely managed 176 yards. Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe called it Nix’s worst game, fueling debate over whether Payton’s departure from play-calling has doomed the Broncos’ season.
