Running down the significant stats and notable numbers following the Broncos’ 34-20 Week 2 win over the Colts on Sunday afternoon. As you might expect, more than a few will have a decidedly defensive slant.
Denver’s two game-clinching defensive touchdowns Sunday – Aqib Talib’s 46-yard interception return and Shane Ray’s 15-yard fumble runback – give the Orange & Blue nine defensive/special teams TDs in their 21 regular-season and postseason games since the start of the 2015 season.
Talib’s pick-six was his fifth as a Bronco and the ninth of his nine-year career and ties him for the fourth most in NFL history.
