“We’re really excited about the young guys on our defense,” Joseph said. “They’re all playing with a lot of confidence and they’re making plays. They’re a big part of our defense right now.”
“Our veterans are really helping our young guys,” Joseph said. “They’re showing them the ropes and helping them to learn the defense. They’re also making plays on the field.”
The Broncos’ defense is off to a strong start in 2023. Through two games, they have allowed just 23 points and have forced five turnovers.
“We’re playing good defense right now,” Joseph said. “We’re not satisfied though. We know we can still get better. We’re going to keep working hard and try to improve every week.”
