It was one and it was done for the Broncos in the playoffs. And next Monday, Raiders wasted no time in requesting an interview with defensive coordinator Vance Joseph for their open head coaching position.
The Broncos were third in the NFL in points allowed this season. And this was mainly due to their ability to increase pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
They had a league-leading 63 sacks this season, including two players in double figures: Nik Bonito (13.5) and Jonathon Cooper (10.5). Then there was Zach Allen who led the league with an incredible 40 QB hits.
Joseph had been the head coach in Denver for two seasons in 2018-19. He went 11-21 in those seasons.
