ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- A month into the season, and the Denver Broncos defense has done a lot of what the players in that defense expect it to do.
After four games, the Broncos are No. 1 in the league in total defense, No. 1 in run defense and No. 6 in scoring defense. And while there is still plenty of season left to play, plenty of work to be done, the group does have an item that needs some attention: Opponents have occasionally found more room to travel than expected in the No Fly Zone.
The Broncos have surrendered seven touchdown passes already this season -- opponents had 13 all of last season.
