Denver Broncos. 3. player. 45. <p>Falling back down to earth in Week 9 were the Broncos, who didn’t deserve to win that game after Aqib Talib’s short-sighted eye poke of Dwayne Allen that allowed the Colts to milk the clock. As a whole, the Broncos’ defense underperformed relative to their standard, and since this team is built upon that outstanding defense, it cost them.</p> <p>With 13 of them sticking out on his stat line, Peyton Manning leads all quarterbacks in interceptions.
