Dre Greenlaw’s Return Has Supercharged a Broncos Defense Drawing Comparisons to the 1985 Bears

The Denver Broncos’ defense has been one of the defining forces of the 2025 NFL season, powering the team to a 9-2 start, their best since the 2015 Super Bowl run. Some analysts have even dared to compare this defense to the legendary 1985 Chicago Bears. And at the heart of that conversation is former Arkansas Razorback and longtime NFL standout Dre Greenlaw, whose return from injury has given Denver back one of the most physical tone-setters in the league.

Greenlaw recorded four tackles in the Broncos’ gritty 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday afternoon.
