## Payton won't reclaim play calling
Denver's head coach doesn't plan to take back offensive play calling duties despite Monday's dismal performance against Kansas City.
## One touchdown in blowout loss
The Broncos managed just a single touchdown in their Monday night defeat to the Chiefs, sparking calls for a coaching change.
## Webb keeps the job
New offensive coordinator Davis Webb will continue calling plays. Ian Rapoport says Payton gave up the duties for a good reason and trusts his young coach.

> Davis Webb is a really good young coach and Sean Payton did this for a really good reason.
## Payton's history with play calling
The head coach called plays throughout his 15 years with New Orleans and his first three seasons in Denver before handing them to Webb this year.
## Coach takes responsibility
Payton acknowledged the poor performance across the board. Third-down conversions and rushing numbers were particularly bad.

> Obviously, not a good evening. Didn't do a lot well at all in the game.
## Door left slightly open
Denver could reconsider if the offense keeps struggling, but for now they're sticking with the preseason decision to let Webb call plays.
## Key takeaway

Sean Payton plans to keep Davis Webb as play caller despite the Broncos scoring just one touchdown in their blowout loss to Kansas City.
