Stud No. 1 – Chris Harris Jr.
Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. on Sunday once again proved why he’s one of the best at his position.
Not only did he have a 74-yard pick-six that sealed the game for Denver, he allowed just four receptions on the day with an average of 5.7 yards per catch. He had four tackles and two passes defended despite being thrown at a team-high seven times.
Harris was an ironman on Sunday, playing 70 of Denver’s 72 defensive snaps and his 3.5 overall game rating by Pro Football Focus was second on the team only to Von Miller’s 4.0.
With the dual threat of rookie Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, Harris drew the veteran and once again did not allow a touchdown. He’s still perfect on the year, marking a streak that now extends all the way back to Week 12 of the 2013 season.
Each week the defense has needed one of its big players to step up and make a big play at a big time. This week it was Harris, our No. 1 “Stud.”
