Pat Surtain II staking early claim as best player on Broncos defense that believes it’s the No. 1 unit in NFL

After the Broncos dominated the 49ers’ offense to carry the team to an 11-10 victory Sunday, there was plenty of hootin’ and hollerin’ in the home team locker room postgame.

The overriding message: Denver has “the best defense in the NFL.”

Less loud, but equally as urgent, was the promoting being done by Justin Simmons. Moments after Bradley Chubb and his fellow outside linebackers staked their early-season claim as the league’s top unit, Simmons chipped in his two cents on cornerback Pat Surtain II.

“Yeah, PS2 The Great!” the injured safety shouted over Surtain’s press gathering.
