ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Most of the Denver Broncos' defensive résumé this season puts the unit among the league’s best.
The Broncos are No. 5 in total defense (295.6 yards allowed per game), No. 5 in rushing defense (92 YPG) and they are No. 4 in pass defense (203.6). But there is a rather significant rub in all of that.
Not only is Denver 3-9, but the Broncos are a double-take-worthy No. 31 in scoring defense -- they’ve allowed 26.3 points per game, ahead only of the Indianapolis Colts' 27.
