The biggest stat on offense is points per game, and the Denver Broncos currently rank 18th at 22.0 ppg. They finished last season 14th at 23.6 ppg. So, they are not too far off the pace from last season. After spending the early part of the season at 31st in yards per play, the Broncos have moved up to 26th. They are gaining 4.79 yards per play. The league average is 5.32, so they are roughly half a yard per play below average. They averaged 5.3 yards per play last season. The 49ers are leading the league in YPP at 6.32, while the Eagles are dead last at 4.29.
In the passing game, the Broncos are 23rd in passer rating at 84.7. Bo Nix is currently 6th in INT rate at 1.4%. The Broncos are 26th in completion percentage. They are 22nd in average net yards per pass (ANYA) at 5.7. The team is 4th in sack rate allowed at 3.7%. As of today, only the 49ers have allowed fewer sacks (eight). The Broncos are 11th in pressure rate allowed at 20.7%.
The Broncos are tied with a host of teams at 8th in average time in the pocket before pressure at 2.4 seconds. The Patriots are leading this at 2.7, while the Commanders and the Giants (who played last night) are last at 2.0. Nix leads the league in yards per scramble at 13.0, partly due to his 62-yard TD run. According to Pro Football Reference, the Broncos have the second-fewest dropped passes with eight. Only the 49ers have fewer, with three.
Denver Broncos offensive stats at the half-way point
The run game has been poor for the most part. The Broncos are 28th in yards per carry at 3.69. The league average is 4.2. The Kansas City Chiefs are leading the league at 5.1, and the Las Vegas Raiders are worst at 2.9. The Broncos are tied for 25th in average yards before contact per carry at 2.2. The Commanders lead this at 3.1, and the Raiders are last at 1.3. The Broncos low ranking here is tied mostly to J.K. Dobbins. All of the other Broncos running backs have been significantly better at this than Dobbins.
The problem with the Bronco run game may be partly Powers and Wattenburg, but Harvey and Coleman have had much better YBC/att than Dobbins behind the same OL. 2.6 and 2.4 to 1.7. That's all on JK who is great this year at turning a 5 yard run into a 2 yard run pic.twitter.com/Av5Az22pBl

The Broncos are second to last in long runs with 15 runs of 10 yards or more in 9 games. They are tied with the Packers. Only the Raiders have fewer, with 12. Tampa Bay has the most with 38. It's clear that the run game needs to improve in the second half of the season.
