Josh McDaniels knows what awaits his offense this Sunday. Unprompted — in his opening statement during his Wednesday press conference, in fact — the Las Vegas Raiders head coach spoke highly of the incoming Denver Broncos defense.
“They’re playing well on defense right now, good pass rush, very good pass rush. They play a lot of tight coverage, they’re pretty good in the defensive backfield,” McDaniels said. “(Pat) Surtain and (Ronald) Darby may be one of the best duos that we’re going to see all year. They’ve been keeping people out of the end zone, creating turnovers, forced more fumbles than any team in the league so far.
