Broncos Defense Forces Teams to Avoid Third Down | Denver News

Denver’s defense is forcing teams to rethink their game plans—thanks to Vance Joseph’s savvy film study. With a league-leading 68 sacks last season and top-three points allowed, the Broncos’ pass rush is too lethal to let offenses settle into predictable passing downs. Teams like the Falcons and Packers are now prioritizing gaining four yards on first down to avoid second-and-seven or worse, where Denver dominates. Expect more misdirection, outside runs, and quick passes as offenses try to “play third down twice” and stay out of Denver’s rhythm. It’s a chess match where defenses must stay one step ahead—and Joseph’s crew is already teaching their guys how to disrupt before the chains even come into play.
