The Broncos' defense isn't what it used to be: It is time to worry about the Broncos' defense, as the inept Redskins posted their most offensive points of the season. The Denver defensive line is very short on talent and depth. Its play in the trenches is not as stout as it was early in the season. As concerning, the collective age of this defense is an issue. When they rebuilt, the Broncos brought in a lot of veteran players. Now, as the season has worn on, it is conceivable that the rigors of the season are catching up with these aged bodies.
