MMQB NFL Week 2 mailbag

The MMQB's Peter King takes a look at the Broncos' defensive play against the Baltimore Ravens from Week 1.

Ten opinions, straddling Weeks 1 and 2 of the new season:

Dan Quinn’s fingerprints are all over the Atlanta revival. Not saying the Falcons will be playing deep into January, but the Monday night win over Philadelphia showed the kind of frenetic defensive effort—from Justin Durant, O’Brien Schofield, Grady Jarrett, Vic Beasley, William Moore and others—that just wasn’t there the past couple of years in Atlanta. I recall a light-contact, unpadded practice in training camp, when Ricardo Allen, fighting to make the roster at safety, plowed through running back Devonta Freeman and sent him sprawling, in clear violation of the spirit of the practice.
