A look at the numbers behind the Denver Broncos’ defense in 2022:
Five key defensive numbers
21.1 — Points allowed per game, No. 14 in the NFL
5.0 — Yards allowed per play, T-3
16.2% — Percentage of drives ending in touchdown allowed, No. 2
34.1% — Third down conversion percentage allowed, No. 2
51.1% — Red zone touchdown percentage allowed, No. 7
High Point
A case could be made for the entire first half of the season — outside of allowing 32 points to Las Vegas in a Week 4 loss — considering the work the Broncos did.
