Broncos’ high-flying defense in for a stiff primetime test against balanced, explosive Lions: “We can kind of prove the type of team we are”

As the Broncos defense over the past eight games has transformed into one of the NFL’s best, its faced all types of offenses.

The rugged, run-heavy Cleveland Browns. The magic of Patrick Mahomes, even this frustrated-by-poor-receivers version. The barely-bother-to-run Los Angeles Chargers.

Next up is perhaps the most difficult challenge since Denver gave up 70 points at Miami, a performance so terrible and so different from this group’s recent run that it feels more like three years ago rather than just less than three months ago. At the least, it’s a task on par with playing at Buffalo a month ago.
