Sean Payton on struggling Broncos offense and play-calling after loss to 49ers: 'We gotta figure it out fast'

This time, they couldn't dig themselves out of a hole. The Broncos had three points at halftime of Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. They finished with 14 in a 24-14 loss that dropped them to 2-2 .

In each of the Broncos' four games this season, they've failed to reach double digits in points by halftime. They had seven at halftime in a 31-10 loss to the Chiefs. They had three points at halftime of a 20-13 win over the Jaguars.

They were scoreless at halftime in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams before a rally for a 30-26 win over the Rams that was aided by an NFL-acknowledged officiating error . On Sunday, there was no comeback, and a Broncos team with Super Bowl aspirations now sits two game behind the 4-0 Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West.
