Enh, it's a deceiving stat... much like the 6-0 start was deceiving.
After the bye week, the defense and the team fell apart.
Denver did rank:
7th in yards allowed (315 ypg) compared to
29th in 2008 with 374.6 ypg
12th in PA (20.2 PA) compared to
30th in 2008 with 28 PA
Yes, overall they improved, but the final 10 games were more like 2008.
