Why the Broncos can cover
The Broncos have one of the best defensive units in the league. Denver is fourth in the league in total defense (284.3) and scoring defense (16) as well as fifth in pass defense (170.2). Linebacker Jonathon Cooper has the relentlessness to track down quarterbacks. The Ohio State product has 25 total tackles with a team-best 4.5 sacks and four TFLs.
Defensive end Zach Allen is disciplined and owns a quick first step. Allen has 29 stops, with a team-high 9 TFLs and 3.5 sacks. Cornerback Riley Moss has played at a high level in the secondary. Moss plays the position technically sound and is very active in run support. The Iowa product is second on the team in total tackles (39) with five pass breakups and one interception.
