In a notable shift for the Denver Broncos, head coach Sean Payton has entrusted offensive coordinator Davis Webb with the responsibility of calling plays during games. This decision marks the first time in Payton's extensive coaching career that he will not serve as the primary playcaller for his team. ([espn.com](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48025767/sean-payton-says-oc-davis-webb-broncos-playcaller?utm_source=openai)) Webb, 31, joined the Broncos in 2023 as quarterbacks coach after a six-year NFL playing career with the New York Giants, New York Jets, and Buffalo Bills. His promotion to offensive coordinator in February 2026 followed the departure of Joe Lombardi.

Despite Webb's relatively brief coaching experience, he has been recognized as one of the up-and-coming offensive minds in the NFL, having interviewed for head coaching positions with the Las Vegas Raiders, Baltimore Ravens, and Buffalo Bills.

Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this new dynamic will unfold on the field.
