The newly-promoted offensive coordinator for the Broncos was not quite ready for primetime in his debut. Denver rushed just six times in the first half for 23 yards, contrasting Kansas City's momentum-building approach. Webb made a questionable decision facing third-and-1 from Denver's 32-yard line with about 5 minutes before halftime, opting not to run behind an offensive line with two All-Pro picks to pick up a yard and control the clock. In the third quarter, the Broncos reached first-and-goal from the KC 5-yard line but were lucky to escape with a field goal after a sweep to R.J. Harvey turned into a disaster when receiver Pat Bryant was flagged for holding.

Offensive coordinator's play-calling was widely criticized as horrendous. Called run plays while down 21 in second half; didn't get plays in quickly enough (per prior season issues); failed to involve Waddle and Sutton despite them being the team's best receivers. Webb was in over his head as a rookie OC. Sean Payton appeared furious at halftime and is expected to reclaim play-calling duties within 1–3 weeks. Webb was promoted from QB coach after being a hot commodity for other HC jobs.

Davis Webb faces Steve Spagnuolo's defense in Week 1, with Webb noting prior experience against Spagnuolo in Buffalo where they 'were usually on the losing end' and later when Spagnuolo was interim head coach of the Giants in 2017 when Webb was a scout-team quarterback; Webb called Spagnuolo 'a great dude and one of the best defensive coordinators in this game's history' but acknowledged 'He'll be a tough challenge for us out of the gate.'

Webb is making his first NFL start and has emphasized an aggressive approach to play-calling. He stated: "We'll let it rip when it's go time," signaling confidence in executing Sean Payton's offensive system. Webb noted that Payton has been a valuable resource throughout the week and gameday, providing "five to 10 nuggets" in gameplan meetings that have benefitted preparation. Webb views the offense as operating under Payton's framework despite Webb's role as primary play-caller, and he has received coaching support from receiver coach Ronald Curry, who brings relatability and experience from his time with Josh Allen in Buffalo.

Making his debut as Denver's offensive coordinator in Week 1 against Kansas City; Webb expressed confidence in his preparation and the team's readiness, stating 'It's going to happen, and I think that's a good thing. I think our staff is prepared, and I think that our players are prepared. We'll let it rip when it's go time.' He acknowledged butterflies but compared the experience to a player getting hit for the first time, suggesting he expects to settle in after the initial play call.

Webb has transitioned smoothly from QB coach to offensive coordinator and play caller for the Broncos. After the first preseason win against the Falcons, Webb spoke like a veteran OC, noting "We're trying to clean up some details, but I love the way we came out. Six plays, go get a touchdown." He emphasized the energy created on the sideline and the team's goal to replicate that performance. The chemistry Webb developed with Bo Nix over two seasons as his QB coach has translated well into his new role; Sean Payton confirmed the transition "was smooth, it was good. Communication process was good. No issues. It was all clean." Teammates also noted Webb's energy and enthusiasm in meetings and on the sideline.

Sean Payton confirmed Webb is fully healthy and ready to execute the Broncos' offensive scheme at 100% capacity. Payton highlighted an early-camp play where Webb threw a 48-yard pass while on the run out of the pocket, demonstrating no limitations in mobility or arm strength. Payton emphasized Webb's readiness and confidence in his play-calling ability, noting that Webb successfully presented the team's first preseason game script to players with clear explanation and positive demeanor—qualities Payton views as integral to effective offensive execution. The Broncos are building concepts throughout the season in a division with three legitimately threatening teams and against a schedule featuring five straight 2025 playoff teams after the opener.

Davis Webb is the Broncos' new offensive coordinator calling plays for Bo Nix for the first time in a game on Friday. Webb characterized Nix's familiarity with the playbook as mixed: some plays are like reading 'Green Eggs and Ham' that Nix knows "like the back of his hand," while others are like "Harry Potter the fourth book" requiring "a few reminders." Webb expressed confidence in Nix's excitement and long-term career prospects, noting Nix was visibly down when unable to play last week but will be fine with more games ahead.

Sideline reporter said Sean Payton wanted to give up play calling duties to Davis Webb because Webb reminds him of a younger version of himself, and it meant a lot when Bill Parcels gave up playcalling to him all those years ago. Bo Nix and Webb also have a great relationship.

Webb is transitioning from sideline QB coach to offensive coordinator, taking over play-calling duties from Sean Payton (who will provide mentoring). Head coach Payton de-emphasized the significance of the role change, stating "I think it'll feel and look about the same," and indicated Webb will get live reps calling plays in the preseason game to get in sync with Nix. Nix praised Webb's preparation and work ethic, saying he "does a really good job preparing" and "is going to work harder than anybody else in the building at his craft."

Sean Payton promoted Davis Webb from quarterback coach to offensive coordinator with playcalling duties from the sideline for the 2026 season. Payton told Kay Adams he sees 'something special' in Webb and believes he 'has a chance to be special,' comparing the arrangement to driver's ed where Payton retains oversight but Webb leads: 'He's not going to fail. He's going to be great at it.' Payton emphasized the decision was 'win driven' and motivated by not wanting 'to stop progress.' Quarterback Bo Nix supports the sideline playcalling arrangement, noting Webb's former quarterback background and comfort level with that vantage point will enhance eye-to-eye communication and emotional connection to the game.

Davis Webb, the Broncos' new offensive coordinator, will call plays from the sideline this season rather than from the coaching booth. Sean Payton delegated this responsibility to Webb, describing the arrangement as a 'driver's ed' model where Payton remains involved as an oversight presence with the ability to intervene. Payton expressed strong confidence in Webb, stating 'He's not going to fail. He's going to be great at it' and 'I think this guy has a chance to be special,' emphasizing the decision was 'win driven' and motivated by not wanting to 'stop progress.' Webb previously spent time as the Broncos' quarterback coach and feels most comfortable calling plays from the sideline.
