The Denver Broncos have found their mojo on defense after their debacle in Miami in Week 2 when they allowed 70 points to the Dolphins. They've made a series of personnel changes and several key contributors have returned to health. Now they're seeking a similar about-face for their sputtering offense.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is congratulated by quarterback Russell Wilson after catching a touchdown pass during the second half of an NFL football game against the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023, in Denver. Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy catches a touchdown pass as Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Jaylen Watson defends during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023, in Denver.
The unit that allowed a whopping 10 touchdowns to the Dolphins in Week 2 held Patrick Mahomes out of the end zone entirely in theirFalcons’ Smith shaves mustache in sleepless night but keeps Heinicke as starting QBThe Broncos are seeking a similar about-face on offense, but with a big difference: They’re sticking with the same cast that averaged 21.5 points and 302 yards per game over the first half of the season.
Still, Payton is a big fan of Jeudy’s and praised him after his first touchdown catch of the season helped the Broncos beat Kansas City 24-9 last time out. That led to the expectation he’d have a breakout year in 2023. But after missing two games with a hamstring injury he suffered in a joint practice with the Rams during camp, Jeudy has averaged 48 yards and 3.9 catches per game. His TD last week snapped a string of 10 scoreless performances.
