Head coach Sean Payton said at the beginning of the season that the first quarter is a sprint to figure out who you are and how to get better. So, who are the Broncos? What have we learned?

But one result so far that’s surprised me is who Denver is not: the rushing-based offense that we heard all offseason Payton wanted to oversee. The Broncos are at 63% passing so far this season, which is a top-five mark in the NFL. They’ve yet to run for more than 122 yards in a game. Some of that is game-flow dependent.
