Broncos currently have the second-ranked defense according to DVOA
Looking over the Week 6 DVOA numbers from Football Outsiders, I see the Denver Broncos are still hanging in there with the 13th best total DVOA on the season. They are four spots ahead of the surging 4-2 New York Jets.
The just goes to show how important complementary football is. The Jets have a great special teams DVOA with the 3rd best mark, but their offense (23rd) and defense (12th) are somewhere in the middle overall. The Broncos, on the other hand, are completely lopsided in this regard. Their defense ranks only behind the Buffalo Bills in second overall, but their offense (27th) and special teams (28th) are atrocious. The result is a 2-4 record and a pissed off fan base.
