Good morning, Broncos Country.
A lot can change over the course of one season in the National Football League.
After a rough 2023 campaign, Pro Football Focus wasn’t too high on the Denver Broncos defensive line and edge defenders. Leading up to last season, they ranked the Broncos’ unit as the second-worst in the NFL. It was hard to fault them, considering Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph’s unit struggled to perform consistently in ‘23, ranking at the bottom of almost every statistical category.
But last season, things changed dramatically for Denver in that regard and Joseph’s defense proved to be one of the best.
