Broncos know they need to start faster before slow starts catch up to them

The Denver Broncos are focused on eliminating persistent slow offensive starts ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Bo Nix acknowledged that while the team has shown resilience by finishing games strongly, relying on second-half comebacks is not sustainable for long-term success.

Nix emphasized that improving early offensive efficiency requires a collective effort rather than individual pressure. Both Nix and Payton highlighted early-down success, establishing a balanced running game, and avoiding third-down situations as key factors to building early momentum and sustaining drives.
