Part 2/13:
There’s a consensus among analysts that the Broncos' defense is currently the most formidable in the NFL. They boast the league's highest sack total, with 10 more sacks than any other team, and have a lock-down cornerback anchoring their secondary. Their improved health, including the return of their best linebacker, further boosts their resilience.
Expert commentary highlights their aggressive attack strategy: they effectively neutralize the opponent’s primary weapon. For instance, before quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ injury, the Jets' leading receiver Garrett Wilson ranked fourth in catches, seventh in yards, and tied for fifth in touchdowns — and yet, against the Broncos, he was completely shut down, with just three catches for 13 yards, illustrating the defense's effective coverage.
