Denver's run defense, which ranks 22nd in the NFL, has not lived up to expectations so far after two games. That's a big problem with Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson coming to town on Monday night. The Dolphins and Chargers combined for 230 rushing yards and four yards per carry against Denver's defense.

D.J. Williams, Al Wilson and Ian Gold make up one of the most athletic linebacker corps in the NFL. However, the trio as a whole is undersized and does not fend off blockers as well as it should. If the Broncos' front-four is doing a good job of protecting them, Williams, Wilson and Gold will cover more ground than most. But so far, Denver's defensive front has been inconsistent in its discipline and overall play.
