Stud No. 2 – T.J. Ward

T.J. Ward somehow didn’t land on Pro Football Focus’ top performers list from this game, despite posting six solo tackles, two tackles for loss, one QB hit and two sacks, including the game-sealing strip sack.

And it seemed like he was in on virtually every other play on Sunday.

Ward was the tip of the spear for a Broncos defense that posted a season-high seven sacks and held the league’s leading rusher, Adrian Peterson, to under 100 yards. Oh yeah, and did we mention he had the play that locked up the win? We might mention it again.
