Can the Broncos Defy the Odds and Topple the Patriots in the AFC Championship Without Bo Nix?
The Broncos registered a league-high 68 sacks in the regular season, led by Nik Bonito’s 14. Denver also ranked fourth in pressure rate at 51.7% and sixth in blitz rate at 37.6%.
It feels inevitable that the Broncos’ defense will create pressure against Maye, but it will be interesting to see how often they choose to blitz the young star quarterback.
Maye had a 121.2 passer rating against the blitz in the regular season – the second highest in the league – and had a 112.8 passer rating against the blitz in his first two postseason games.
