The Denver Post reported today that the NFL has fined the Denver Broncos‘ rookie safety $20,000 for a hit on Buffalo Bills‘ wide receiver Donald Jones, which happened last Saturday night in the Broncos preseason win over the Bills.

Moore felt like the hit was a clean shot, as he did not launch himself at Jones or lead with his helmet.  Apparently, the NFL didn’t think the hit was so innocent.

The Broncos have a new-look defense. That’s what defensive coordinator Dennis Allen brings to the Mile High table. Compared to last season when the Broncos ranked last in points allowed, last in sacks, and second to last in rushing yards given up, this new Broncos defense appears to be more aggressive and more competitive.

In Saturday’s preseason win against the Bills, the defense had 1 sack, 1 interception, 6 tackles for a loss, 8 quarterback hurries, and 9 pass deflections. In the Broncos first two preseason games, it’s evident that there’s more pressure on the quarterback and more energy throughout the entire defensive squad.

Players are making a statement on every play, trying to secure a spot as a starter or just trying to solidify a spot on the roster.  If you can believe it, a play from the Broncos defense making national news in preseason play.
