State of the Broncos roster: Running back stable could use an upgrade

Related Topics: Denver Broncos

During their 2023 season, the Denver Broncos struggled in a handful of ways on the offensive side of the ball. The franchise most certainly lacked consistency in the passing game, but their running game wasn’t very effective either. That will have to change in 2024 if they want to improve and have a shot at playoff contention.

In review, the Broncos were middle of the pack league-wide with 451 rushing attempts and 1,810 total rushing yards. However, their 4 yards per carry average was tied for ninth worst in the NFL. In fact, they only had eight rushing= touchdowns the entire year and the only teams who had less were the Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings, and New York Jets.
