The “unsustainable” somehow remained sustainable as the Denver Broncos won their 16th straight one-score game – a new NFL record – against the Carolina Panthers. Denver had two incredible defensive plays, and the offense seems to finally be figuring out an effective run game. They head into their bye as the No. 2 seed in the AFC, only one game behind the Buffalo Bills.
Pro Football Focus (PFF) has released its Week 9 player grades, offering a closer look at Denver’s best and worst individual performances from the win.
Offense
Best
C Luke Wattenberg: 75.2 QB Bo Nix: 75.1 TE Nate Adkins: 74.4 LT Garett Bolles: 70.4 WR Troy Franklin: 69.3Nix threw his first interception since Week 3, but also recorded his third multi-touchdown passing game of the season. He completed 67.6% of his passes, his second-highest completion percentage of the year, while throwing for 237 yards, also his second-highest total this season. The improved effectiveness of Denver’s running game appears to be positively affecting Nix’s performance.
Worst
FB Adam Prentice: 50.1 WR Marvin Mims Jr.: 52.5 WR Jaylen Waddle: 54.4 TE Evan Engram: 56.9 RB Jonah Coleman: 60.6While Coleman’s role continues to grow and he continues to receive praise, this marks the second consecutive week he has landed near the bottom of the grades. He out-carried J.K. Dobbins (62.4) 17-4, but averaged just 3.4 yards per carry. However, his rushing production doesn’t appear to be the biggest factor behind his low overall grade. Instead, his struggles in pass protection (28.7) were largely responsible for the drop.
Defense
Best
DL Tyler Onyedim: 92.4 OLB Nik Bonitto: 89.9 DL D.J. Jones: 79.5 S Devon Key: 75.0 DL Zach Allen: 74.2Bonitto made one of the most impressive plays of his NFL career on the Panthers’ final drive. Despite being held by Rasheed Walker across nearly his entire body, Bonitto still managed to fight through and strip-sack Bryce Young to seal the game. He also finished with two tackles.
Worst
CB Jahdae Barron: 30.1 DL Jordan Jackson: 30.5 LB Alex Singleton: 41.3 S JL Skinner: 43.9 CB Ja’Quan McMillian: 46.5It was a difficult outing for Barron, who saw increased playing time after Riley Moss (66.1) exited with a concussion. According to PFF, Barron allowed seven receptions on 10 targets for 69 yards. On a more positive note, he finished with eight total tackles, although he missed two.
Special Teams
ST Devon Key: 90.2 LS Mitchell Fraboni: 63.9 KR Marvin Mims Jr.: 61.7 P Jeremy Crawshaw: 60.1 K Wil Lutz: 67.2 (FG) 60.0 (KO)Key wasn’t just a standout on special teams; he also came up with a nearly unbelievable red-zone interception on the defensive side of the ball.
Week 10 gives the Denver Broncos a much-needed bye week before they return to face the Las Vegas Raiders. The matchup will mark just the second career start for rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Kickoff is scheduled for November 22 at 2:25 p.m. MST.
