Summary
Sean Payton said Denver's first-team offense operated smoothly Friday night against Atlanta even without Bo Nix, with the Broncos moving the ball effectively in their first preseason outing.
A thin offensive line had to stay on the field longer, but Payton said Denver won the line of scrimmage and handled substitutions well, with Davis and the quarterbacks sharp in and out of the huddle.
A few penalties were the main blemish, though Payton said the snap counts stayed under control after the Broncos held back players including Palcho and Alex following pregame workouts.
The review points to depth and operational steadiness as Denver manages personnel carefully early in the preseason while Nix remains out of the first-team lineup.
