Who needs to step up the most for the Broncos against Jacksonville, Alex Singleton or Nik Bonitto?
On The Drive, Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay break down the urgency already surrounding Week 2 as the Broncos prepare to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. After a disappointing loss to the Chiefs, Denver’s defense is under the microscope — especially Nik Bonitto, who posted just one QB pressure and zero sacks after finishing last season second in the NFL behind Myles Garrett.
Can the Broncos’ pass rush wake up? Will Bo Nix and Davis Webb improve enough to keep Denver competitive? And with playoff odds dropping to 10% historically after an 0–2 start, how damaging would another loss be?
This is the full breakdown of pressure, concern, and the adjustments Denver must make before Sunday.
