ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Turns out, the Denver Broncos Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars held special significance.
With the trade that sent Von Miller to the Los Angeles Rams a week ago, that game marked the last time the team's top pass-rushers -- Miller and Bradley Chubb -- lined up in the same defensive formation for the Broncos. Chubb, the No. 5 overall pick of the 2018 draft, went to injured reserve the following week and hasn't played since.
Without Miller -- the longest-tenured, most decorated player on the team's roster -- there is a real what-now feel about the team's defense in the short-term.
