The Broncos have been steadily gaining prominence in the NFL, with several assistants recently losing their positions. However, head coach Sean Payton retained Davis Webb as offensive coordinator and giving him primary play-calling duties. Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner stated that keeping Webb in the position was a priority for the team and its future. He also expressed confidence in Webb's ability to maintain the position and said that the decision to give Webb the play calling duties was his own.
