Broncos pass rush has returned with a fury through eight games

Mile High Report's Tim Lynch highlights that the Denver Broncos' defensive pass rush has generated a higher pressure rate through eight games despite total sack numbers trailing previous seasons. The defense has faced several elusive quarterbacks including Patrick Mahomes, Trevor Lawrence, Matthew Stafford, and Brock Purdy, forcing opposing passers into rapid decisions.

Lynch projects Denver's sack numbers to increase over the second half of the season, noting that several remaining opposing quarterbacks rank near the top of the league in sacks taken. Ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, the Broncos hold an active four-game winning streak and have an opportunity to enter their bye week at 7-2.
