In an otherwise disastrous season for the Denver Broncos, one source of comfort has been their excellent secondary. The Broncos lead the NFL in pass coverage according to Pro Football Focus with an outstanding 90.4 season grade to date. Three secondary members sport an elite coverage grade of 80 or higher, two more are above 70, and none are below 60.
The Broncos did suffer a major (ACL) injury to one starter, Ronald Darby, in Week 5, and several other starting defensive backs have missed one or more games. That’s life in the NFL.
