ITI: The Broncos defense has appeared to be impenetrable for so long. Now, on the outside, it appears there are some issues. Is this a defense that hasn’t gotten the necessary help from its’ offensive unit, a unit that may be aging or a little bit of both?

Predominantly Orange: 

I honestly believe that this unit hasn’t gotten the help from the offense that it needs. This unit is still strong. They held the league’s leading rusher (Kareem Hunt) to under 50 yards rushing, and the “No Fly Zone” and linebackers are still the destructive force they have always been. The only issue they have is forcing turnovers. If they can get help from the offense and force some turnovers on their own, you will see how much of an impact they can make.
