If you had DeShawn Williams and Anthony Chickillo selected to make big defensive plays that led to a Broncos’ victory, well, it may be time to run to the nearest sports book.
When the Broncos opened against Tennessee, Williams was on their practice squad and Chickillo was on New Orleans’ practice squad.
But in Sunday’s 18-12 win over New England, Williams (36-of-57 snaps) had an interception and Chickillo (13 snaps) had a sack that moved the Patriots out of field goal territory.
Last week, defensive coordinator Ed Donatell saluted the Broncos’ position coaches for teaching up so many new faces in such a short period of time.
