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.
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.
