Denver's defense is fourth in yards allowed, fourth in points per game, and second in sacks. They'll shut down a Saints offense missing its top two receivers, right guard, and probably the starting quarterback. New Orleans scored fewer than 15 points in two of last four games.
Saints have fourth-most takeaways whereas the Broncos are tied for the sixth-most giveaways. Denver's offense is 25th in points per game and 29th in yards. They've been held under 20 in three of their last five games. Thursday Night Football should be a defensive struggle.
