After the Denver Broncos offense went three and out on two straight drives, they really needed a spark from their defense to get back on track.
That’s exactly what happened.
Philip Rivers wanted to throw it to Antonio Gates.
Danny Trevathan had other ideas.
Pick-Six! #DENvsSD https://t.co/SHINqs28x4— NFL (@NFL) December 6, 2015
And with that pick-six from Danny Trevathan, the Denver defense continues to put up astounding numbers.
INT TD by @Grindin_59 is the 5th defensive TD by Broncos this year. Denver has scored 65 pts off takeaways this year (24% of total pts).

In many aspects, the defense has carried the team to their current 9-2 record, and that’s not a bad thing at all. As they say, “Defense wins championships!”
