The Denver Broncos are surprising critics this season, shifting from a predicted bottom-tier team to a playoff contender, largely thanks to their young quarterback Bo Nix. However, injuries to key defensive players like Riley Moss and Patrick Surtain II pose challenges for the team's secondary.
With upcoming games against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Broncos will rely on young corners Damarri Mathis and Kris Abrams-Draine to step up. Mathis, who has faced struggles in the past, is back from injury and expected to play a crucial role, while Abrams-Draine has shown promise in recent games.
Head coach Sean Payton has expressed confidence in both players, emphasizing their potential to hold the defense together during this critical stretch. The outcome of their performance could determine the Broncos' playoff fate.
