Former Cowboy QB questions Sean Payton’s play after terrible half against Giants
on Sunday, Denver Broncos took the field at home against the New York Giantslooking to raise their record in the 2025 NFL season to an impressive 5-2. The The Broncos are rolling lately, including recently handing the Philadelphia Eagles their first road loss of the season.
Unfortunately for their fans, the Broncos didn’t get off to a great start offensively against New York on Sunday, giving up a goose egg total in the first half.
In response to that brazen display, former Cowboys quarterback Ben DiNucci he wondered if it was time for Broncos head coach Sean Payton to move away from calling offensive plays for the team.
“Is it time for Davis Webb to call the plays in Denver?” wrote DiNucci on X, formerly Twitter.
Webb is the offensive pass coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Broncos, but does not call the plays on offense, a role reserved for Payton.
The Broncos’ offense has been something of a wild card all year, led by quarterback Bo Nix. Nix ranks near the bottom of the NFL in several key quarterback stats, but his mobility and big arm have allowed him to keep the starting job he earned a year ago as a rookie.
Meanwhile, the strength of the Broncos team as a whole lies in its defense, which leads the NFL in sacks so far this year by a country mile and is quickly turning into one of the elite units of late. Entering Sunday’s game, the Broncos’ defense had allowed just six touchdowns all season.
Either way, after the Giants game, the Broncos will take the field next week at home against the Dallas Cowboys. That game is scheduled to begin at 4:25 PM ET.
