For the first time this season, Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett will not call offensive plays in a game. The rookie head coach plans to hand that responsibility over to passing game coordinator Klint Kubiak when Denver plays the Raiders on Sunday, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports.
Hackett’s first season as Broncos coach has not gone according to plan. Denver is 3-6 and sits in third place in the AFC West. Despite adding quarterback Russell Wilson in the offseason, the Broncos rank last in the NFL in points per game, averaging just 14.
