Brandon Marshall records tackles for days

I believe that if Brandon Marshall does suit up for this game, he will record six tackles with three assists. He has posted the highest numbers on defense against the Chiefs, with over ten tackles and three assists during the two meetings in 2017 against Kansas City.

With the confidence the Chiefs have in Mahomes, they’re sure to take to the passing game. Not to mention, our ground defense has been ranking higher than the pass. The Broncos should be prepared for this plan off attack and be on their toes. Plus, the Broncos are at home. This is a stadium where home field advantage comes into play.

Brandon Marshall has become one of the more consistent players for the Broncos defense over the last few seasons. He has recorded over 100 tackles in three of the last four seasons. Having that kind of consistency on defense is sure to keep momentum going. Marshall has also been solid when it comes to the running game. Teaming up with the guys in front to take the ball carrier down has helped.

Kansas City has a solid running back in Kareem Hunt. If Brandon Marshall does well, he could be a factor in shutting down Hunt.
