The 2024 NFL season has seen a notable decline in offensive performance, with teams averaging just 21.4 points per game, a drop from the 24.8 points peak in 2020. The Denver Broncos exemplify these struggles, starting the season 0-2 largely due to their ineffective offense, which has generated -26.49 expected points and only one touchdown. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix has faced significant challenges, including decipherable play-calling and a weak running game averaging just 2.9 yards per carry. Head coach Sean Payton acknowledges the need for better design, execution, and adaptability to improve the team's performance. Despite these setbacks, the Broncos hope for growth and resilience from Nix, drawing parallels to his past ability to overcome adversity.
