Sean Payton is holding Bo Nix BACK: What does Sean need to change to transform the Broncos offense?
The Drive with Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay take a hard look at one area Bo Nix MUST improve — his deep ball. But how much of the issue was actually on Bo… and how much was on Sean Payton’s play‑calling.
As the season went on, Payton became more and more hesitant to let Nix push the ball downfield. That shift changed how defenses played Denver, and it may have made the Broncos offense far too predictable.
Is Bo Nix’s improvement tied to his own development, or does it depend on Payton loosening the reins — or even handing play‑calling to Davis Webb. And which Broncos receivers need bigger roles to unlock the deep passing game.
