Sean Payton cautions against judging short-yardage play calls

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton addressed questions regarding the team's short-yardage play calling following an inconsistent start to the season under offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Payton stated that it remains too early in the year to draw definitive conclusions, estimating the offense has had approximately three snaps in third-and-1 situations through the first three games.

Payton emphasized that the offense typically operates under center with a run during short-yardage scenarios rather than remaining in shotgun. The comments followed Denver's comeback victory against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football, as the Broncos prepare for their Week 4 road game against the San Francisco 49ers.
