No defense in the NFL this year made more game-saving, game-altering plays. Denver's defense showed a knack for late-game takeaways, punctuating each of their first six wins -- all by seven points or fewer -- by forcing a turnover in the final eight minutes of regulation.
Here's one attempt to choose the 10 high points of one of the greatest defensive campaigns in NFL history.
Playing without the suspended T.J. Ward in Week 1, Stewart and David Bruton Jr. held up well on the back end against the Ravens, with Stewart providing the final touch via a leaping end-zone interception of a pass intended for Crockett Gilmore to preserve the 19-13 win.
