If Sly is looking to get a new deal with the Denver Broncos next season, these next six games are going to be important for him to step up in.

The Denver Broncos running defense has not been the best lately. And teams in the postseason are going to be looking to focus more on the run in January.

It will be important for Sylvester Williams to push back the line and get to the running back.

Derek Wolfe has been the more productive run stopper on the line. It’ll be important for the man that is in the middle of the line to get some production.

If he can help out Jared Crick and Wolfe get the run defense going, then it will be difficult for any team to run against this team in the cold months of winter football.
