The freefalling 2-3 Denver Broncos were defeated 12-9 in overtime by the lowly Indianapolis Colts in primetime. The ugly contest contained seven field goals, zero touchdowns, and horrid overall offensive play. Denver is left scrambling for answers. The performances of a pair of sophomore defenders represent a banner of optimism in the wake of Thursday’s disappointing defeat, however.
Browning spearheaded a dominant defensive performance that totaled 34 total pressures on only 48 pass-rushing snaps. Indianapolis’ struggling offensive line had no answer for Browning’s tenacious motor. Browning effortlessly strung together pass-rushing moves that awarded him routine entrance into Indianapolis’ backfield.
The No. 106 overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, Browning underwent a position change this summer. Browning is notably playing the outside linebacker position despite starting nine games at inside linebacker as a rookie last season. Browning already appears like a natural EDGE defender. Thursday’s performance will surely award Browning with more pass-rushing opportunities throughout upcoming contests.
Sterns wasn’t overshadowed. The No. 152 overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, Sterns recorded two interceptions on Thursday while starting in place of injured Pro Bowl safety. Both of Sterns’ interceptions occurred in the low areas of the middle of the field. Indianapolis’ offense struggled to create spacing issues. The Broncos didn’t respect the Colts’ vertical passing game, and Sterns patrolled the middle of the field for large portions of the contest as a result.
for the team lead in passes defended . Sterns’ willingness to come downhill has allowed him to record 21 total tackles this season. Sterns is living around the football, and the Broncos’ coaching staff will be tasked with finding a way to keep Sterns involved when Simmons returns from injury. Sterns is simply too productive to be stapled to Denver’s bench.
