They lead the league in interceptions without their #1 corner. They're middle of the pack with sacks without their #1 sack producer. The defense right now is allowing 2.3 yards a carry, 43 yards averaged a game. 57 rushes/142 passes. Teams are airing it out because they're being forced to play catch up.
Yes. This is why I said they remind me of last year's Patriots. They had such big leads that it was okay. Their defense was dead last though.

Dead last in what?

From a glance, they had about a top 10 defense vs the run and a 25-27'ish vs the pass. They were top 5 for interceptions, 15th for sacks, and 1st for FF.

Dead last seems like an exaggeration outside of points allowed and pts/g which comes from late in games where teams are having to try to put up back to back touchdown drives just to get a FG to tie or win

I'm predicting Peyton Manning - 5 TD's

Expect a shootout here.

Broncos 38, Eagles 24
Their defense played better last week against KC and the offense is what struggled with all the turnovers. Chip Kelly wont adapt and once again Eagles TOP will be doubled allowing for Manning to have more opportunities

Yeah, the Denver defense has been pretty solid. Teams have yet been able to run the ball on them, and the defense has been decent enough with stopping the pass until it gets into more prevent mode when the game has been out of hand.
3 more games and they get their best pass rusher back, arguably top 3 pass rusher in the NFL.
They might get their #1 CB back this week.

The Broncos have 4 receivers on pace for 1,000 yards, Manning has been damn near perfect, running game has been decent aside from the fumbles. The offense is a massive powerhouse.

I don't really care what happens I just hope Peyton throws a bunch of TD's with no INT's.

If the Eagles TOP is doubled, wouldn't that mean less opportunities for Peyton?
