The Denver Broncos defense finished 3rd in points allowed at 311. That’s 11 points more than the first place Los Angeles Chargers. Despite that both AFC West teams got blown out in their wildcard games. In fact, teams with scoring defenses ranked 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th all lost in the wild card round. Four of the top 10 defenses are still in though - Eagles, Chiefs, Lions and Ravens.
As we found out painfully on Sunday, the Bronco defense had some holes that our defensive coaches were able to hide for most of the season.
