00:00Okay. If Bo Nix were quarterbacking the Denver Broncos in this game, what would be your pick?
00:07I would still pick the Patriots. Go. Why? Yeah, I because look, I just feel the way that they're
00:14playing defensively and that ties into my thoughts of how they could potentially lose this game. But
00:20I think the way that they're playing defensively is on a different level. I think that one of the
00:27things I'm going to get to here in a second. I feel like Denver's defense, although very good in
00:31terms of the pass rush, I feel like it's a little overrated. People talk about the Patriots schedule
00:36and the quarterbacks they've faced and rightfully so. We've talked about that this year. You're
00:40going to look at some of the quarterbacks the Broncos have faced. They've had a pretty fortunate
00:44run too. They've run up some of these defensive stats and I'm going to list them off now. They
00:49had Cam Ward in his first career start, Jake Browning, Justin Fields, Davis Mills, who had to
00:55come in for CJ Stroud, Geno Smith, who was good last year and beat the Patriots in the opener, but
01:01they ended up firing the offensive coordinator and Chip Kelly. That offense was a dumpster fire this
01:06year in Las Vegas. They faced him twice. Marcus Mariota. How about the last two games of the season?
01:12Chris Oladokun, if that's how it's pronounced, and Trey Lance. So how many quarterbacks did I just
01:17name there? That's what they ran up most of their numbers against. If you look at some of the better
01:21quarterbacks they faced, Daniel Jones when he was healthy, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, those guys
01:28were able to put some some points on the Broncos. Now the Broncos still sacked those guys and harassed
01:34them, made it difficult for them at times, but those guys were able to put up some yards and some points.
01:39So I think Denver's defense is good, but I think the Patriots have already faced the best AFC defense
01:46that they're going to face in the playoffs. And that was Houston.
