Broncos D vs. Packers O on third down is best

The Broncos defense is among the best in football.

Its leader, coordinator Vance Joseph, says Sunday is the group’s biggest challenge to date in 2025.

The Green Bay offense will undoubtedly look different if running back Josh Jacobs doesn’t play — he’s missed the first two days of practice this week with a knee injury — but it’s become one of the NFL’s most dangerous because of its balance.

There is not a singular player or pair of players to focus on, like Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers or Cincinnati receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

Green Bay instead has a bevy of receivers that can make plays and a talented tight end in Luke Musgrave, in addition to Jacobs. Then, of course, the Packers have Jordan Love at the controls under center.

“It’s a really good group,” Joseph said.
