The Broncos fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi after a poor playoff performance following quarterback Bo Nix's injury.

The Denver Broncos have fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi following a 7–31 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game, where the offense struggled to 181 total yards after starting quarterback Bo Nix suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Lombardi, 54, joined Denver in 2023 under head coach Sean Payton and previously served as offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers, Detroit Lions, and New Orleans Saints. During the 2025 regular season, the Broncos ranked 10th in total offense and 14th in scoring. His dismissal has fueled speculation about a shift in offensive leadership, with quarterbacks coach Davis Webb emerging as a leading internal candidate, amid reports he is also being considered for the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coaching position.
