"New England Patriots Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi is out, along with a receivers coach and a cornerbacks coach. The Broncos announced Tuesday that they have parted ways with three assistant coaches in the aftermath of their AFC title game loss to the Patriots. Offensive Coordinator Joe Lombardi, Wide Receivers Coach Keary Colbert, and Cornerbacks Coach Addison Lynch are no longer with the team."
"The Broncos fell to the Patriots 10-7 on Sunday, totaling just 181 yards of total offense. They averaged 3.3 yards per carry on the ground, and backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham went 17-for-31 passing while tallying 131 total yards. Stidham threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Mims Jr. in the first quarter, and Denver was shut out the rest of the way."
"It was the only time this season that Denver scored less than 10 points. They beat the Raiders 10-7 during the regular-season. They scored 33 on the Bills in the divisional round after earning a first-round bye via the top seed in the AFC. The Patriots, on the other hand, have held two of their three playoff opponents to a touchdown or less. They have only given up two touchdowns this postseason. They're holding opponents to 71 rushing yards per game."
Denver dismissed three assistant coaches: offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi, wide receivers coach Keary Colbert, and cornerbacks coach Addison Lynch. Head coach Sean Payton thanked the coaches for playing an important role in elevating the program and noted a 15-year working relationship with Lombardi. The Broncos lost the AFC title game to New England 10-7, gaining only 181 total yards and averaging 3.3 yards per carry. Backup Jarrett Stidham completed 17 of 31 passes for 131 yards and threw a 52-yard touchdown to Marvin Mims Jr., Denver's only reception longer than 12 yards. The Patriots limited opponents to two postseason touchdowns and 71 rushing yards per game.
