INDIANAPOLIS — Sean Payton is stepping into a new phase of his decades-long head coaching career.

The Broncos head coach confirmed Tuesday that he is handing primary offensive play calling responsibility to new offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Payton said he would still call some plays and be heavily involved in game planning.

Payton once temporarily handed the work to former assistant Pete Carmichael when Payton fractured his leg and had to watch games from the box, but he has otherwise been the primary play caller every year he’s coached since he arrived in New Orleans as the head coach there in 2006.
