Despite securing the top seed in the AFC, the Denver Broncos are prioritizing a major defensive shift toward generating turnovers as they enter the postseason. Although the team leads the league in several defensive categories and set a franchise record for sacks, they finished the regular season with a negative turnover margin. Head coach Sean Payton has utilized historical data to emphasize that nearly all recent Super Bowl winners ranked among the most efficient teams at taking the ball away during the playoffs. While the coaching staff encourages aggressive play to force fumbles and interceptions, they also aim to balance this pursuit with sound defensive fundamentals. Ultimately, the Broncos believe that improving their takeaway luck is the final essential component needed to translate their regular-season dominance into a championship run.
