Broncos Struggle With Running Game in 0-2 Start

The Denver Broncos are struggling with a disappointing 0-2 start, marked by ineffective offensive performances from both running back Javonte Williams and rookie quarterback Bo Nix. Williams has averaged only 2.1 yards per carry over the first two games, failing to regain his pre-injury form, and is frustrated by the lack of explosive plays despite claims that his knee is no longer an issue. Meanwhile, Nix, despite being named a starter and team captain by head coach Sean Payton, has thrown for just 384 yards with two interceptions and is struggling with pocket presence and timing. The Broncos' offensive woes are compounded by injuries, including a significant knee injury to right tackle Mike McGlinchey, which will keep him out for about a month. Payton acknowledges that the team's scheme and execution need improvement, while also emphasizing the need for a stronger rushing attack to support Nix. With upcoming road games, the Broncos face increasing pressure to turn around their season and address their offensive shortcomings.
