Toughest Defense in 2016 – Denver Broncos

Ugh.

As much as I hate to admit it, the Denver Broncos still post the best defense in the NFL. At least the toughest that the Chiefs will face, and to make matters worse, they have to face them twice.

The good news is that Peyton Manning retired, Brock Osweiler bolted for Houston, and the Broncos now have to choose between an unknown, a rookie, and Mark Sanchez to run their offense. That’s the good part.

The bad part is that yeah…  This Broncos defense is still phenomenal. It singlehandedly won them a Super Bowl last season, and they kept the hype in the mountains by re-signing Von Miller to a huge contract this offseason.

We all hate the Broncos, but when a defense is as good as theirs, you have to respect that and give them their props. They’ll be the toughest defense that Kansas City squares off against this year.

Next: Well?
