Broncos defense vs. the best of the best
The Broncos generally had one of the best pass defenses in the NFL this season, finishing in the top 10 in QB rating allowed (86.2, 6th), yards allowed per attempt (6.8, T5th) and sacks (63, 1st). But against the best of the best — quarterbacks chosen for the 2024 Pro Bowl — things didn’t go quite so smoothly for defensive coordinator Vance Joseph’s unit. That was again the case Sunday vs. Buffalo’s Josh Allen. Here’s a look:
