"The first drive is the rhythm we wanted, the tempo we wanted," Payton said, emphasizing the importance of establishing a strong running game early in the match.
Despite an early focus on the run yielding a touchdown, the Broncos quickly abandoned this strategy, finishing with only 14 rush attempts on the night.
Payton was visibly dedicated to the rushing approach, as evidence shows with his handwritten 'Run It!' note on his play sheet, yet the team struggled to sustain it.
The loss against the Chargers not only hindered their playoff aspirations but also showcased a recurring issue in maintaining a balanced offensive strategy.
