Ain’t bad. Here’s an excerpt from the DPO today:
Pick a defensive category, and the Broncos are probably near the top of the heap as they head into a potential postseason clincher Thursday night at the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers.
They’re tied — with the Chargers and Philadelphia — for the top spot in scoring defense at 17.6 points per game allowed.
They’re tied for second in both net yards per pass allowed (5.4) and yards per rush allowed (3.9).
They lead in sacks (49) and pressures (228). They’re into the top five in takeaways (23) after racking up 10 in the past three games.
They’re pretty good on third down (36.6%, No. 11) and really hard to score touchdowns against in the red zone (42.1%, No. 2).
They’re particularly tough to score against late in games. After surrendering two second-half touchdowns in a 26-20 loss Week 1 at Seattle, the only pair they’ve given up in a competitive game came Week 13 against Cleveland.
They’ve given up one or fewer touchdowns in seven games this season and they’ve scored 39 points all on their own (five touchdowns and two safeties).
