The Denver Broncos are the best defensive team in football right now by several statistical measures.
Count Pro Football Focus as the latest to get on the hype train.
At the time this article was published the popular football analytics service had tweeted nine total times today. Four of those tweets featured the monstrous Broncos defense.
Here’s a sample of some of the crazy stats PFF has been tweeting out about the Denver defense as well as two cool vines (the first one is mildly NSFW).

Teams targeting #Broncos CB Bradley Roby have a passer rating of 16.7 so far this year. That's pretty good coverage.

Most total pressures through 3 wks:
T1 D Ware + V Miller: 21
3 P McPhee 18
4 J Houston 17
5 E Griffen 16— PFF (@PFF) September 30, 2015
Where do you even start with this defense?
Could the Broncos have six, seven or eight Pro Bowlers? Right now it feels like they’re on that type of pace.
And Pro Football Focus is firmly in their corner.
