Derek Wolfe's renewed confidence leads to pass rush explosion

The Broncos pass rush really took off when the interior guys, namely defensive ends Derek Wolfe and Malik Jackson took off.

Wolfe, who earned his keep primarily as a run stuffer, returned from his four-game suspension earlier in the season as a completely new player.

“It’s really come along from me. I started to think myself that I could only play the run,” Wolfe said. “Once I really dived into it the sacks started coming.”

Wolfe has notched at least a ½ sack in six straight games this season and eight of the last nine. He credits his coaches and a renewed confidence to use his gifts.
