Denver Broncos Week 14 Player Grades: Defense

The defense of the Denver Broncos did have some momentary struggles, but they held the Oakland Raiders to negative 12 yards in the first half and only fifteen points total. That should win the team a game, but the offense really hit a wall in the second half. So with that said, let us jump into the player grades.

Defensive Line

The Broncos defensive line was good, but not great. They had some issues in the run defense, but were solid for the majority of the game. Only four defensive linemen saw 10 or more snaps, Derek Wolfe (52 snaps), Malik Jackson (48 snaps) and Sylvester Williams (32 snaps) all started on the line, while Antonio Smith (10 snaps) rotated in.
