Three sacks. Three points. 39 yards.

Those are the crucial stats from the first half of Week 3 Preseason action in Denver Saturday. The Broncos lead the Seahawks 10-3 thanks to their swarming defensive effort that has swallowed QB Tarvaris Jackson and all Seattle runners (who averaged 1.6 yards per carry).

It’s the third straight preseason game the Broncos have held their opponent to three points.

    Tebow looked like SHIT!  Lost!  Unnerved!

    I think he was allowed to play himself into the 3rd spot and he took it and excelled.

    If our D is as good as they looked, which was FANTASTIC, then we have a legit shot at winning our division. It's hard to judge though, cause buffalo and Seattle have bad offensive lines. The good thing is that the last few years, their bad OLs wouldn't have mattered, and we'd still get shredded. At least we are destroying the teams we are suppose to destroy. I'm really excited to see what Doom and Miller can accomplish together.

    SO many things to LOVE about this game!!! 9-7 is a very real possibility and hopes are high for this years draftees!! MFingYAY!

    I might be punch drunk on the kool-aid, but I have visions of the 2000 Raven's D in my head, with Orton being our Trent Dilfer. I'd much rather have Tebow starting, but then again, I'll take the ring over Tebow starting this year.

    The pressure on the QB was aggresive and sustained.  Unlike the O, this D is fired up and exciting to watch.

    KO is better than dilfer!

    lost count of the plays in which the D pressured the QB and covered the receivers at the same time… very nice to watch :D
