Denver Broncos Struggle in Close Games, Ranking Mid-Tier in NFL Performance

News summary

The Denver Broncos have struggled to close out games, evident in their recent 23-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers where a walk-off field goal sealed their fate, marking their 2-8 record in one-score games over the past two seasons. Quarterback Bo Nix acknowledged the difficulty but emphasized moving forward to improve and find ways to secure wins, highlighting the team's need to avoid turnovers and capitalize on opportunities. The Broncos’ defense, once highly lauded, now ranks mid-tier in the NFL, failing to consistently pressure opposing quarterbacks or force turnovers, which has contributed to their disappointing start. Coach Sean Payton stressed the importance of playing a clean, complete game to reverse their fortunes and noted the necessity of reducing penalties, turnovers, and execution errors. Key to their success against the Chargers is a strong pass rush to exploit the absence of the Chargers' left tackle and limiting turnovers while maintaining offensive efficiency. Despite the early setbacks, there remains a long season ahead, and the Broncos have opportunities to improve and contend in the competitive AFC West.
