Jeremiah Attaochu

Not many may have known exactly who outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu was coming into today’s game.

He changed that. He finished the day with two tackles, two sacks and a recovered fumble, although he will not be credited with it from a statistical standpoint. The fumble was initially caused by LB Alexander Johnson, and picked up by Attaochu. However, when Attaochu saw he would not get anywhere with it, he handed the ball off to Kareem Jackson, who would take it back to the house for a Broncos’ score.

Next. Kareem Jackson has monster day vs. Texans. dark

Attaochu was in Deshaun Watson’s face the majority of the game, and got to him twice. Just signed by the team on October 1st, Attaochu is 26 years old and could be another big contributor to this Broncos’ defense. He is definitely off to a good start so far.
