Finally the Broncos’ defense impacts game in a good way

Sunday’s comeback win over the Bears showcased an offense on the move as it overcame a 21-point deficit to win by three, 31-28.

But finally it was the 2023 Broncos Defense that really turned the game around.

For a defense that had been the primary reason for Denver’s three losses so far, the unit did its part Sunday to neutralize the opponent’s offense (eventually) while energizing its own.

The first half was looking like just more of the same Sunday as the Bears put up 265 yards of total offense behind Justin Fields’ near-perfect throwing day (16 of 17 for over 200 yards, his one incompletion coming from a Hail Mary attempt to end the first half).
