    He has thrown four interceptions in 349 attempts, racking up 15 touchdowns and a passer rating of 100-plus.

    Brett Favre? One of the Manning boys? No, it's a profile of the opposing quarterbacks who've faced the Broncos this season.

    Eleven games into the festivities, the Broncos have four interceptions, one by a defensive lineman. And they're allowing a completion percentage of .699, putting them within a bad drive or two of the all-time record of 70.1 percent, set by the 2007 Lions.

    I don't mention it to pile on. That's the last thing the Broncos need after losing to the gawdawful Raiders. It's meant more as a reality check for those who view life through orange-colored glasses.

    Add into the fact that they have to go from West to East.


    But if Denver had a top 15 defense, they'd win 11 games every year with that passing game.

    Maybe Denver will make Brett look like Joe Montana...

    It's fun to look at stats like this.

    2,445 yards, a 66.6 completion percentage, 18 touchdowns to only 2 picks and a 111.2 passer rating. That's the Detroit Lions opponent QB.

    That's a friggin' MVP season.
