After a shutout win at home, the Broncos’ defense is full of confidence but hunkering down for one of its biggest problem QBs when it hosts Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in two days.
“Anytime you get a shutout, confidence is riding high, but we’ve got to go out this week and stop Patrick Mahomes and ‘Shady’ McCoy,” Derek Wolfe told the Broncos Country Tonight crew on Monday. “We’ve got to limit those two with their feet; make sure they don’t beat us with their legs.”
Ryan Edwards pointed out an interesting stat from Sunday’s 16-0 win over Tennessee - the deepest drive that Marcus Mariota ever got into Denver territory was to Denver’s 49-yard line.
