Broncos D/ST Has Pedestrian Outing Against Pittsburgh
2 months agoThe Denver Broncos defense/special teams was nothing special in the Week 2 loss to the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers in Denver on Sunday. One week after the Broncos defense surprised with two safeties and two turnovers, they failed to generate any turnovers and produced only two sacks of quarterback Justin Fields. The Denver D did hold Pittsburgh to under 300 yards of total offense and only 13 total points, but their rushing defense has been a weak spot through the first two weeks after allowing 141 yards on the ground to the Steelers on Sunday. The Broncos defense has kept them in the first two games, but a Bo Nix-led offense hasn't helped them out at all, scoring just one touchdown in eight quarters. At best, Denver's D/ST will be a streaming option in deeper leagues going into a Week 3 tilt on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
