The Broncos were unfortunate losers last week to KC, as they held the Chiefs to a 37% offensive success rate. They should be reliable to bounce back this week against a Falcons squad that struggles to rush the passer (29th in pressure rate). Denver ranks 1st in pass block win rate, which should give QB Bo Nix the clean pocket he needs to move the chains (three turnover-worthy plays from a clean pocket this year).

On the other side of the ball, Kirk Cousins is bound to feel the heat against a Broncos team that blitzes at the second-highest rate and has talented corners who can hold up in coverage (4th pass defense DVOA). Cousins has struggled against pressure ranking 33rd out of 39 qualified quarterbacks in adjusted completion rate against the blitz.
