Kiz: While Broncos Country is going ga-ga-ga over quarterback Brandon Allen, the best player on the field for Denver in the victory over Cleveland Sunday was safety Justin Simmons. And, in my book, he made the biggest play of the game in the fourth quarter, coming from the weak side on a blitz to tackle Browns running back Nick Chubb for a 3-yard loss on third-and-1 from the Denver 25-yard line and the Broncos clinging to a five-point lead. It says here Simmons has become the best player on Denver’s defense.
O’Halloran: Simmons’ 53 tackles are tied with inside linebacker Todd Davis for most on the Broncos and he leads the team in pass breakups (nine) and interceptions (two).
