Denver Broncos Week 8 Player Grades: Defense

The Green Bay Packers have one of the best offenses in the NFL and are led by arguably the best quarterback in the league today. That is, until they came into Denver and took on the Denver Broncos defense.

The defense held Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense to 14 first downs, 77 passing yards, and 90 total rushing yards. Of those 90 rushing yards, 31 came from Rodgers and 38 from big-time running back Eddie Lacy. This was the biggest test for the Broncos defense so far this season, and they showed just how great they can be.
