The Denver Broncos struggled offensively in the first week of the season, both with efficiency and imbalance with the run and pass, especially early on.

It wasn't a great debut from the Denver offense, and the two people most responsible for that -- at the end of the day -- are always going to be quarterback Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton, who calls the plays into Nix. And after he had a chance to go through the early week debrief, Payton fell on the sword for his part in the offensive struggles.

He realizes he can be better, and has to be going forward.
