X-Factor

Danny Trevathan

For the final preview article of the 2015 season, I have decided to just go with one X-Factor. And I chose Trevathan because he can make some big plays when the defense puts the quarterback under pressure.

In the last meeting, Trevathan intercepted Rivers and returned it for a touchdown. He thrives as a coverage linebacker and can make the key play when need be. He is also a surefire tackler as he has recorded 100 total tackles this season and recorded one other interception against the Chicago Bears.

If the Broncos defense can force Rivers into any mistakes, look for Trevathan to be around the area of the mistake. This numbers for him are great since he is entering a contract year.
