Defensive additions add up. If there’s one thing that has gone right early on this season, it’s the play of the Broncos’ two big offseason additions on defense — DL D.J. Jones and OLB Randy Gregory. The former made a spectacular open-field tackle on a third-and-short sweep from Dameon Pierce that shut down the Texans’ opening drive. And the latter got into the backfield before Pierce could even make a cut on third-and-1 on the next possession, leaving Pierce doing the splits. Throw in a tide-turning sack for Gregory in the fourth, and there’s a lot to like.
Broncos four downs: Nathaniel Hackett and Russell Wilson get first “W” in orange, but is Denver still boring?
