SEATTLE -- Whenever Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II is asked if he'd like to match up with an opponent's best receiver -- no matter where they line up -- he has the same routine answer.
"You always want a challenge, but at the end of the day, I do whatever they ask me to do, whatever is best for the team," Surtain said. "My job is to execute the playcalls, play the scheme and do it without making mistakes. But yes, you always want that challenge."
One game doesn't necessarily forecast a season's worth of challenges, but Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph decided to move his most talented defender around the field in Sunday's opening-week loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
