After a tough Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Denver Broncos’ offensive challenges are hitting hard, but quarterback Bo Nix is still publicly backing his offensive coordinator, Davis Webb. Nix didn’t mince words in his postgame press conference, declaring, “I’m real confident in him.” This unwavering support comes even as questions about the team’s struggling offense continue to swirl around the league.
Nix Backs His OC, Despite the Storm
Nix isn’t pretending the offense is cruising. He knows the unit isn’t exactly lighting up the scoreboard, even referencing, “this isn’t necessarily the first time in my three-year career we’ve scored 14 points.” But he’s quick to explain the situation surrounding Webb. Nix pointed out that the team has already played “four of the top teams in the league,” and it’s “not easy for a first-time OC as young as he is to go against some of the, quite frankly, the best teams in the league.” He truly believes Webb “is going to continue to work to put us in the right spots.” That’s a huge vote of confidence for a guy who’s under intense scrutiny right now.
He Says It’s On the Players to Execute
The pressure on Webb is seriously cranking up, especially with the Broncos’ well-documented struggles in the first half of games in 2026. The offense just can’t find a rhythm early, casting a shadow over Webb’s entire philosophy. Yeah, big plays have shown up sometimes early on, but outside of those, it’s been a grind. What’s even more telling is Nix’s take on where the real work needs to happen. He said the offense itself isn’t making it easy on Webb, constantly putting themselves in “deep third downs, or behind the sticks.” Nix laid it out clearly: “As players, you gotta put him in a better spot… 3rd-and-long, not many plays on that part of the sheet… So, we’re just not making it easy on him by any means right now. So, we just got to help him.” That’s a direct message to his teammates, demanding better execution and less self-sabotage.
The questions about Webb are louder than ever after their second loss of the season, and they probably won’t quiet down anytime soon. Denver desperately needs a complete-game performance against an above-average opponent to show they can actually click. Week 5 brings the Los Angeles Chargers to town. Can the Broncos’ offense finally put it all together and prove Nix’s confidence, and his call for better player execution, isn’t misplaced? We’re all watching to see if they can turn this thing around.
