This is about traits, not stats.
The Broncos defense is not the 2015 Orange Rush. Let’s get that straight.
“I love the way they are playing. I am proud of them. They are off to a great start,” said former All-Pro cornerback Chris Harris Jr. “But avoid comparisons with us until we get through the season.”
Harris is right. It is not fair to the 2024 Broncos. The 2015 group was vicious, proving a perfect antidote to the finesse image that saddled the franchise after a humiliating Super Bowl 48 loss. Those defenders played with confidence and excess, stealing chains and crushing dreams, melding with the masterful coaching of coordinator Wade Phillips.
