Denver Football Club in Colorado, commonly known as the Denver Broncos, under scrutiny for controversial fiscal decisions.
The Denver Broncos' Record-Breaking Defense Shines in 2021
The Denver Broncos' defense made a strong start to the 2021 season and went on to set a franchise record, recording an impressive 63 sacks throughout the year.
From the very first play of the season against Seattle, the Broncos defense made an impact, with Jonathan Cooper making a notable tackle. The defense continued to dominate, collapsing the pocket around Geno Smith on multiple occasions during the season.
One of the standout players was D.J. Jones, who was a key part of the defense that made multiple sacks. While the defensive player who recorded the first sack in the opening game against Seattle was not explicitly named, Pat Surtain, the Defensive Player of the Year and leading the team's defense, had 8.5 sacks in the previous season. This, along with the fact that he has been playing for the Broncos since 2023, could suggest that it might have been Allen.
The Broncos defense started the season strongly, setting the tone for a record-breaking year. Their relentless pressure on opposing quarterbacks earned them the title of the team with the most sacks in a single season in the franchise's history.
