Defense wins championships.
That mantra is frequently uttered in meeting rooms around the NFL, but in the past, the Denver Broncos have leaned on a high-powered offense to fuel their title runs. However, the arrival of coordinator Wade Phillips has coincided with the emergence of the Orange Crush, 2.0, with the Broncos ranked first in yards allowed and second in points allowed per game. Gary Kubiak's troops are looking like a blue-collar squad capable of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy on the strength of a defense creating splash plays at an alarming rate.
Given some time to dig into the All-22 Coaches Film, I've come up with three reasons to think Denver's D will continue suffocating foes in 2015:
1) Wade Phillips' attack-style scheme is built around his pass rushers.
