Denver Broncos should watch out for Nick Bosa on Sunday

Nick Bosa is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, and the Broncos may have their hands full with him.  Garett Bolles has been good so far in 2022.  He was able to hold his own last Sunday, and his plate is going to be very full with Nick Bosa, the younger brother of Joey Bosa.

Russell Wilson is 16-4 in his career versus the 49ers, so he’s had his way with them, but I’m sure he isn’t a fan of Nick Bosa at him.  Wilson takes a lot of sacks as it is due to his style of play, and this could be amplified since the 49ers have a good pass rush.

Bosa already has three sacks on the season and had 15.5 sacks last year after coming back from a torn ACL.  It’s clear how much of a threat he is to opposing offensive lines.  If the Broncos can take him out of the equation, Russell Wilson is going to have a much easier time getting the ball to his receivers.

There are also extracurriculars that can happen because of a sack.  Strip sacks and injuries are all possible with this as well.  Garett Bolles has had problems with talented pass rushers in the past, and he does sometimes tend to get frustrated.   He’d then usually commit some very inopportune penalties like a holding or false start.

Bolles has never gone against Nick Bosa before, so this might be an interesting test for the sixth-year tackle.
