While he didn’t run very much, he didn’t need to. He set or tied career highs in TD passes, passer rating, completion percentage, completions and consecutive completions. Justin Fields had the best game of his career against the Broncos. For the Broncos to even finish 7-10 this season seems like a pipe dream given how historically bad the defense has been over the last two games. Both the 2012 Saints and the 2015 Saints finished 7-9. The record for most YPP allowed was set by the 2015 Saints (I’m sensing a trend here). The Bears are currently second worst at 6.11. The Broncos are currently last in the league in yards allowed per play with 7.05 YPP allowed. If they maintain this pace they will end up allowing an astounding 7846 yards during the season, or 800 more than any team has ever allowed. The Broncos have allowed 1846 through four games which is 462 yards per game. They allowed 7042 yards in 16 regular season games or 440 yards per game. The most ever yards allowed in a season was by the 2012 Saints who were coached by Sean Payton. So the 2023 Broncos have allowed one third of that in two games. The 2015 Bronco defense allowed 4530 in 16 regular season games. That’s almost 1200 yards allowed over two games (1197). The Bronco defense allowed 471 yards a game after allowing 726 yards. So that’s the good part, along with the facts that the Broncos offense produced 24 points and the Broncos defense had four sacks and nine QB hits, one that led to the tying touchdown. This was only the second time that the Broncos have come from 21 or more down on the road with the last time being that amazing comeback win in 2012 over the Chargers in San Diego that evened the Broncos record at 3-3. On Sunday, the Broncos trailed the Chicago Bears 21 with 20 seconds left in the 3rd quarter.

The Denver Broncos have not come back from 21 or more points down to win many games.
