Last year, the Broncos were on pace to break the NFL record for sacks for much of the season, before falling short late in the year. This year, they're expecting to get that record.
That's the word from Broncos defensive lineman Zach Allen, who said defensive coordinator Vance Joseph's schemes are guaranteed to give all the Broncos' pass rushers plenty of opportunities to get to the opposing quarterback.
“In this league you’ve kind of always got to keep on finding ways to get better and adjusting and all that,” Allen said, via the Denver Post. “It also helps when you’ve got ‘V.J.’ dialing stuff up that helps us get one-on-ones. We’ve got a lot of good guys and that’s going to create a lot of opportunities for people. We came close to the sack record last year and we fully expect to break it this year.”
The NFL record for sacks in a season is 72, set by the 1984 Bears. Last year, the Broncos finished with 68 sacks. Allen is confident he and his teammates can find five more sacks this year.
