It wasn’t just last night that exposed Denver’s improved defense. It’s been since from the start of preseason that Denver’s defense has shown a new face. Against both the Cowboys and the Bills, the team’s starting defense allowed just 3 points and 90 yards in each game.

The noticeable difference to Denver’s defense is in the pressure up front. That comes from Elvis Dumervil’s return from injury and from Von Miller’s loud emergence into the pro game.

“They are some talented guys on the edge, and that’s what they do,” Tarvaris Jackson said. “We were just trying to get them in the run game, but when we got behind the sticks a little bit, we had to pass the ball some more. Hats off to those guys for the job they did.”

And in an interesting twist, the most compelling quarterback competition may be taking place in the Seahawks camp.
