Other than in the Detroit game, the defense has been great. Part of the reason is ball control by the offense.
Amen to that ... time of possession is a huge plus. Offense controlling the ball on sustained drives keeps the defense fresh. 3 & out Orton wasn't helping his defense ... Tebow is their hero.
That is certainly part of it. Denver thought they were drafting a quarterback; however they drafted arguably the finest single wing tailback since Johnny Majors. Might be showing my age.
