On paper, the Broncos are in trouble this week

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Last week presented a near perfect matchup for the Denver Broncos defense. They faced a team who struggled to run the ball, loved to chuck it and was prone to coughing up the rock. The result: An easy, dominating win in which Denver forced three turnovers and only conceded 10 points.

Unfortunately for the Broncos, this week appears to be quite the opposite. The Titans run the ball extremely well—ranking third in the NFL in rushing yards per game—they throw sparingly compared to the rest of the league—only putting it up 52 percent of the time—and they take care of the rock—only giving away the ball 13 times this year.
