Get to Jacoby Brissett for sacks

Like I said, the Broncos have gotten off to a slow start in terms of defense. With Bradley Chubb going down with a partially torn ACL, you would think that would have been a major problem for Von Miller.

The Colts have given up just the second-fewest sacks per game (1.2 per game) and seven total on the year. So, that could prove to be a big struggle for the Denver Broncos defense. As long as the coverage is good downfield, they should have some success.

Of course, there are going to have to be players that step up. Miller cannot do it all himself. Guys such as DeMarcus Walker and Malik Reed will have to produce.
