Coleman established as Broncos lead back with 30 snaps, 6.0 YPC, and Payton's endorsement.

Rookie fourth-round RB established as lead back after impressive performance: 54 yards on 9 carries (6.0 YPC), led all backs with 30 snaps (50% of Denver's offensive snap count) versus RJ Harvey (16 snaps) and J.K. Dobbins (14 snaps).
