3. Denver Broncos get first defensive TD of 2020

The Denver Broncos have forced 10 turnovers in 10 games. That ranks them 25th in the entire NFL, so obviously creating turnovers has proven to be a bit more difficult over the past couple of seasons than the Broncos would have liked, especially with Vic Fangio calling the shots.

Against the Miami Dolphins, the Broncos dropped or were robbed of no fewer than four interceptions. They got their hands on the ball when it mattered the most at the end of the game, but I think against the Saints, the Broncos will get their first defensive touchdown of the season and their first defensive touchdown since their December 8 game against the Houston Texans in 2019.

The Broncos did a great job against the New England Patriots, who may not be the exact same offense as the New Orleans Saints with Taysom Hill, but they will definitely emphasize the run in a similar way.

If the Broncos can force Hill to make plays as a passer, there is a chance they could force some turnovers and maybe get six points the other way.
