What happened: Denver coach Sean Payton said he is not considering a quarterback change and will stay with Bo Nix. Per Troy Renck, the conversation could shift if Nix and the offense do not show improvement.

Why it matters: Continuity keeps the offense under one starter rather than opening a competition. The public benchmark ties Nix's hold on the job to near-term offensive progress.

What to watch: Denver's next outing will show whether Nix and the unit respond.
