Denver’s offensive line surrenders five sacks

When it comes to Denver’s offensive line, they have had trouble keeping Teddy Bridgewater, and for one half Drew Lock, upright. Just last week, Bridgewater was sacked four times by the Football Team’s pass rush and lost 23 yards as a result. That has been the story throughout this season.

Through seven games, Denver’s offensive line has given up 25 sacks on the year, which ranks as the third-most in the NFL behind the Chicago Bears (30) and Seattle Seahawks (26).

The Broncos front-five will now have to face a Dallas pass rush consisting of DeMarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory and rookie Micah Parsons. So far this season, the Cowboys have brought down the quarterback 12 times. But we’d envision that they will have a much easier time against Denver.

Let’s just say to not be shocked if Bridgewater is sacked five times on Sunday.
