Sean Payton calls it "re-entry." It's the adjustment period of transitioning from the daily grind of an NFL season to a normal schedule. That period began this week for Denver's head coach following the Broncos' season-ending 31-7 loss at Buffalo in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

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.
