Can Denver’s Defense Stifle Justin Fields, garrett Wilson?

Fields’ success certainly isn’t limited to his contributions in the run game, as he’s one of two quarterbacks in the NFL with a 100-plus passer rating and no interceptions this season. Through five weeks, his 119.8 passer rating against the blitz ranks eighth in the NFL.

Denver, though, can get pressure even without bringing an extra rusher. The Broncos have an NFL-leading 43.4 quarterback pressure percentage without blitzing – and Fields’ passer rating is nearly 20 points lower when not facing the blitz. The Broncos also rank first in sacks and second in quarterback pressures without blitzing, and five of their six sacks in Week 5 came without bringing an extra player.

Outside linebacker Nik Bonitto leads the group, and he is on pace to break Von Miller’s franchise sack record. Bonitto’s seven sacks match the Jets’ sack total as a team through five games.

“For him to be beating Von Miller stats,I’m kind of like,’Yeah,that’s what’s up,'” outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper said this week. “I always had faith in my dude – always.”

The Broncos’ 21 sacks rank first in the league, and they’ll face a Jets team that has given up the fifth-moast sacks in the NFL. Denver also ranks in the top three in points allowed, third-down defense and red-zone defense.

The play of reigning Defensive player of the year Pat Surtain II has certainly contributed to the defense’s performance, as well. On Sunday, he could match up with Garrett Wilson, who ranks in the top 10 in the NFL in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Wilson also has a receiving touchdown in three straight games, which is the longest streak of his career. Surtain, though, has slowed Wilson in the past. In three career meetings, Surtain has allowed three catches on seven targets for just 34 yards. The All-Pro corner has also recorded a pair of passes defensed and an interception while not giving up a touchdown.

If Surtain can find that level of success agai
