In a pass-happy season, the Broncos will have seen most of the league’s best at throwing the ball by the time they finish this year.
Of the NFL’s top 15 teams in passing yards per game, the Broncos already have played six – the Patriots, Chargers, Cowboys, Steelers, Giants and Ravens. New England, San Diego, Dallas and Pittsburgh are among the league’s top 10.
They also will play Indianapolis, who is No. 1 in passing yards per game, Sunday and will face Philadelphia, who is No. 11, Dec. 27.
“People have just decided that’s the way to go to move the ball,” said Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey. “With the rules the way they are, (offenses) are throwing the ball in any situation. You can’t really look at the down and distance any more. You have to expect people are going to come out throwing the ball.”
