Two issues on offense are holding the Broncos back

The Denver Broncos' offense is struggling more from structural issues than quarterback Bo Nix’s performance, according to recent observations. While Nix has shown flashes of effectiveness, his passing game is frequently disrupted by a lack of trust in the interior offensive line, particularly from pass protectors Ben Powers and Luke Wattenberg.

Four of Nix’s five games with 295+ passing yards this season occurred when Powers was on injured reserve, suggesting the line’s stability directly impacts the quarterback’s ability to sustain drives. Beyond pass protection, the Broncos’ rushing attack has been stifled by the absence of Jonah Coleman, with J.K.

Dobbins appearing fatigued and ineffective in recent outings. The team’s rushing yards per carry have dropped to 3.62, the lowest mark in franchise history, further complicating their offensive struggles against a tough schedule so far this year.
