Getting your player ready...
Short of scoring a limitless number of points, the ability to limit turnovers might be the single best indicator of a team’s success in the NFL.
Ask the Broncos.
Through three games this season — all Denver victories — the Broncos rank second in the NFL in turnover ratio, trailing only the NFC’s Green Bay (2-1).
Denver leads the AFC with a plus-6 mark, with just two fumbles — one on a kickoff return and another on offense — the second-lowest number in the NFL. The defense, in turn, has eight takeaways, including five interceptions and three fumbles.
Best turnover ratio in the NFL this season:
Team … Takes … Gives … Ratio
1. Green Bay … 9 … 1 … +8
2. Denver … 8 … 2 … +6
3. N.Y. Giants … 7 … 2 … +5
4. Minnesota … 6 … 2 … +4
4. New Orleans … 9 … 5 … +4
