Episode Details

The Denver Broncos defense is back and better than ever, leading the league in sacks for two straight years and consistently ranked top-five since their 2023 turnaround. But with most key players returning, the real focus for 2026 is turning up the pressure on turnovers — a glaring weakness last season that cost them a positive turnover margin. While they forced 24 turnovers in 2024 (tied for 7th in the NFL), they only managed 14 last year — dead last in the league. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and players like Nik Bonitto and Talanoa Hufanga made it clear: forcing takeaways is now the top priority. With their elite pass rush and run-stopping ability, adding more turnovers could be the missing piece to propel them deep into the playoffs — just like the Eagles and Seahawks did with their turnover dominance.
