The Denver Broncos defense is trending toward some historically bad territory.
Through five games the Broncos are currently allowing the highest points per game in NFL history - 36.2 (181 points allowed in five games). If you remove the 70 points allowed to Miami, the team is still allowing 27.8 ppg. That figure would be good for 28th in the league currently. Of course, it’s not ALL on the defense. The offense allowed nine points last game, and you could blame the special teams for three points, but that belies that fact that the defense has been atrocious.
