He's now on the other side of a blitz, microphones coming from every which way. He's cool in the pocket, that T.J. Ward, the guy they call "Boss," a black fedora placed on his head just so. He's asked about the victory, about the interception. Then, after they retreat, he's asked about the real story of the defense — T.J. Ward finally being T.J. Ward again.
"How many times did you blitz today?"
"I think three," the Broncos safety said.
"In the other games, how many blitzes did you average per game?"
After a light chuckle, Ward said, "Probably 0.5, maybe one. There've been a few games where I didn't blitz at all. I think it's a great call — the blitz allows me to use my speed against bigger interior linemen, so I'm not running straight into them."
