Scouting Report: Broncos Defense Looks Formidable (We Think)

As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. Like last year, Tom Mead and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on scheme, Tom on the players.

Today, breaking down the Denver Broncos’ defense.

ALEX’S SCHEME REPORT

Broncos’ Run Defense

A strong output overall. Allowing just 3.5 yards per carry, tied for 5th best in the league. They haven’t allowed a run longer than 13 yards this season, the best in football, and only five runs of 10+ yards all year, tied for the league’s best mark.
