Jimmy Johnson said on @NFLonFOX's halftime show that #Broncos pass rushers are like a "bunch of wild dogs after a piece of meat." — Jon Heath (@JonHeathNFL) October 4, 2015
I couldn't agree more. When was the last time Broncos fans were more excited to see the defense than the offense? 1977? Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips has the defense ringing up sacks and turnovers like a pinball machine this year. It's almost too much fun to watch.
The offense, on the other hand... It's getting better. It looks like the offensive line play has improved. The running game is showing sparks of life. Who would have thought that after his fumbling issues a few years ago that Broncos fans would be championing running back Ronnie Hillman? Not me, that's for sure.
@Jezru bro don't talk about non of my teammates my broth Ronnie is going 2 have a great year you jus watch

Clearly, I was wrong. My humble apologies, Ronnie.
