With a 90.1 PFSN Defense Impact Score, the Denver Broncos had the best defense in the NFL in 2025. They were the only team with an “A” grade this season, with players like Patrick Surtain, Zach Allen, Nik Bonitto, Talanoa Hufanga, and Jonathon Cooper all putting together strong campaigns.
Denver has such a good defense that they’ll be competitive in most games they play in 2026. The biggest question is the further development of Bo Nix. He’s a good quarterback who can execute Sean Payton’s system well, but can he ever be great? If he takes that next step, it’ll be tough to prevent them from making the Super Bowl.
