The Denver Broncos defense has been night and day without cornerback Riley Moss.
Who would have thought that the fulcrum of the Broncos' defensive prowess would be a No. 2 cornerback? Since Riley Moss went down with a knee injury in Week 12's victory over the, the Broncos defense not only hasn't been the same, but it's been a far cry from the stout, smart, efficient unit it had been for the majority of the season.
Since the Broncos' Week 14 bye, the rumor mill has centered around Week 17 as Moss' return date, and interpreting the content of Payton's remarks, and his tone, it sounds like the second-year corner out of Iowa is expected back to face the Bengals and help his team clinch a playoff berth. Not counting the Week 12 Raiders game, Joseph's unit has relinquished 299.6 passing yards per game with this model. Entering Week 12 , the Broncos ranked No. 7 against the pass, allowing 190.7 yards per game. That's a difference of 108.9 yards per game, and it comes out in the wash.
Moss' return will allow Joseph to get back to his Wade Phillips-esque brand of defense. Throw in Moss' playmaking penchant and the glue-guy that he is, and it should be a massive boost for the Broncos against an MVP-level quarterback like Burrow, whose offense is teeming with weaponry.
