Broncos’ Rough Start Exposes Offensive Woes | Denver Broncos News

The Denver Broncos’ 2026 season opener ended in disaster as they were crushed 31-10 by the surging Kansas City Chiefs, a stark reversal from last year’s sweep. With Patrick Mahomes back at full strength, the AFC West proved its toughness — and Denver’s offense, now run by rookie play-caller Davis Webb, collapsed, posting just 176 yards — the worst Week 1 performance in the league. Quarterback Bo Nix, still recovering from an ankle injury, was sacked four times and picked off, while the offensive line failed to shield him. Defensively, missed tackles and lack of pressure on Mahomes allowed big plays to pile up. The Broncos need immediate fixes on both sides of the ball — especially protecting Nix — if they hope to bounce back against the Jaguars next.
