Blitz 18
Late in the game, the Broncos bring Rahim Moore off the edge. We're in the redzone so the Broncos feel ok with Mike Adams playing centerfield, otherwise you will almost NEVER see Rahim Moore blitz. Standard Nickel here.
Blitz 19
At this point I could be absurd and label the alignment as a 2-4-5 nickel as the Broncos and Del Rio seem fit to play both Robert Ayers and Shaun Phillips more like OLB's. Regardless, Phillips up top drops back into coverage and both Woodyard and Trevathan run an A gap blitz.
Blitz 20
Very cool design and there is a stunt from the outside on both sides of the line. Duke Ihenacho and Robert Ayers flush Flacco to the outside.
Blitz 21
Some more 3-man fronts in effect with Shaun Phillips once again dropping into coverage. Both LB's run a double A gap blitz.
Blitz 22
Another cool design as the Broncos overload the left side of the defensive line using a LB and a CB.
Final Tally
65 passing plays, 22 blitzes (33.8%), 12 pressures (54.5%), 2 sacks (9%). Here's the entire list of each blitz:

Hope you enjoyed it folks, I'll probably continue to examine how the Broncos are blitzing each and everyweek.
