When the Broncos entered free agency last spring, most of the media attention was on Denver landing offensive weapons, and rightfully so. As free agency continued, it became increasingly clear that the Broncos were adding impact talent, but not just on offense. George Paton and Vance Joseph had visions of turning the Denver defense into an all-time unit, and tabbed two former 49ers to make it happen.
With the additions of the two former 49ers, the Broncos' defense is now firing on all cylinders. Their unit is among the best at basically every positional group on the field, and is on pace to obliterate the single-season sack record.
