Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has turned expectations around, leading a surprising defensive unit after a rocky start to the 2023 season. Many considered him on the hot seat, but his decision to pivot from previous schemes has sparked solid performance from a team facing salary cap challenges.

Adjustments include not only coaching strategies but also personnel changes that emphasize depth. The Broncos rank well against explosive plays, showcasing an effective blitzing strategy, despite the absence of elite talent. Joseph’s team mirrors a 'Moneyball' approach, finding success with limited resources.
