Coleman Earns Touches, Broncos Coach Praises
Tap title to read story
Broncos coach Sean Payton said Jonah Coleman’s touches were "something you earn and he’s done a good job of that." Payton noted Coleman’s touches were explosive and that he probably enters Week 8 as the favorite of the three running backs to crack 10 touches.
Payton also said he needed to get more touches for Marvin Mims on offense.
Coleman returned to action after missing a month because of an ankle injury, immediately earning three opportunities before RJ Harvey got his first look.
He led the Broncos in carries and earned two targets, but was the only Denver back who didn’t find the end zone in Week 7.
