The New York Jets (0-5) are in London in Week 6 for a clash with the Denver Broncos (3-2) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. ET.
Let's take a deeper look at What To Expect from Denver.
Denver's Defense
Denver is riding high after defeating the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles, 21-17, on the road in Week 4. And while the Broncos' offense scored 18 points in the final quarter last Sunday, it was HC Sean Payton's defense, led by reigning Defensive Player of the Year — CB Patrick Suratin II — and the NFL's sack leader DE Nik Binotto, that guided them to the win.
"They kept us off balance," Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said. "Hats off to them. Coach Payton's obviously a really good coach, and a lot of respect for that opponent. That defense is strong."
Denver's calling card on defense this season has been its ability to pair dominant man coverage scheme with a elite pass rush.
Through 5 games, the Orange Crush have played man coverage on 57% of snaps according to PFF, the highest rate in the league, and have 21 sacks, also tops in the NFL.
"I'd be damned if I didn't give credit to the whole D-line today," Bonitto said after last week's victory. "The way we were rushing today, keeping [QB Jalen Hurts] in the pocket, making him uncomfortable. … We'll look to carry this through the rest of the season."
As a unit, Denver's defense is allowing 16.8 points per game, second fewest, 200.2 passing yards per game, eighth fewest, and 88.2 rushing yards per game, fifth fewest.
Denver LB and team captain Alex Singleton said they want to be one of the greatest defenses in league history.
"It's one of those things where we tell ourselves, 'Let's be better than the Broncos 2015 Super Bowl defense.' " Singleton said. "We are chasing all-time defenses like that."
