Bradley Chubb is back

Having Bradley Chubb back on the field will be a huge boost for the Broncos. He has not been seen since Week 4 of last season and with everything that has happened in the world since then, that seems like a lifetime ago.

But no player will be saddled with more responsibility to make up for the loss of Miller than Chubb, a player who showed as a rookie that he can be one of the league’s most feared defensive players.

Chubb had 12 sacks as a rookie but only managed one in his second year before a torn ACL sidelined him for the rest of 2019. Now he must get back on the field and show that not only was his rookie campaign no fluke, but also that he is at 100 percent following the injury.

Without Miller, Chubb is likely to garner more attention from opponents than he would have otherwise, but he simply must find a way to overcome that or at the very least, help to free up a lane for another player to make a play.

It will be very interesting to watch No. 55 on Monday night and if he could manage to take down Ryan Tannehill for a sack at least once in the game, there would be few things more encouraging in this contest, aside from a win, of course.
