The Denver Broncos have the number one ranked defense in the NFL giving up just 283 yards ib the season. The Carolina Panthers have the sixth ranked defense allowing 322 yards in 2015. But do the statistics determine which one is better? Possibly.
Both teams have star players but the Broncos probably have more stars combined at each position. The Broncos also have one clear edge over the Panthers in pass rushing with their two-headed monster of Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware coming off the edge.
The Broncos also have an emerging force on their defensive line in defensive end Derek Wolfe.
