For an offense that ranks 29th in points scored over the last six years, it made sense that Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett would prioritize red-zone work during Monday’s opening organized team activity workout.
The Broncos have struggled to score in general and been particularly bad in the red zone, finishing 26th, 32nd, 19th, 28th, 27th and 22nd during their six-year playoff drought.
“We started off with the red area just because it’s our first day getting after it and we wanted to save their legs and shorten the field (and) at the same time practice that situation because that is so important,” Hackett said.
