The Broncos offense did quite a bit of good in 2024.
It finished 10th in the NFL in scoring — boosted, to be sure, by a whopping 39 defensive points along the way, but still a major improvement from recent seasons.
No Denver offense between Peyton Manning’s retirement and coach Sean Payton’s arrival finished better than 23rd in scoring. Payton’s first team here finished 19th.
Then this season the Broncos scored 28 or more points eight times and won all eight of those games.
The club hadn’t scored 28-plus more than four times in a season since 2014 and had just 19 in its previous nine seasons combined.
