The NFL HATES seeing this...

The NFL hates seeing this and it's awesome for Broncos fans because it means the emergence of a player that had a lot of question marks from the 2025 season and has had a good start to the 2026 season. Obviously week one almost doesn't count because almost everyone played badly or poorly but this now this time around with the Jaguars game things are much different. People play a lot better. The defense in particular I want to talk about and shout out because we you the reaction to the game yesterday it was clear that it's like okay the offense just the way they pulled it together in the second half but it really wasn't just the offense the team pulled it together and I want to shout out Riley Moss and I mean we'll be doing that throughout the video and just the defense. Q Robinson kind of coming for that other spot on the other side of the defensive line across of Nick Benito. I'm excited to see his development. He already got a sack which was amazing so I will be talking about all of that. Make sure to subscribe join Broncos Digest. I'm Sebastian your host and let's just jump right into this man let's not waste any time. So first things first we don't have I was gonna say I did not have a graphic. Okay here we go here's the first graphic. So Riley Moss I mean he holds himself to a high standard. He said that there was an interception that he dropped that was going to be a pick six and that's going to keep him up at night. Considering he already got an interception from the game the fact that he says he's already he has plays that's going to keep him up at night that feels amazing. I love that he is already holding himself to that standard. He's also holding the defense to a high standard. He said that regarding just the fact that they he said that to be honest 13 points is too much. They held the Jaguars one of the best offenses in the league to 13 points and he said we allowed too much. We don't want to hold it like like we want to shut out everybody or at the very least hold them to single digits. I love that like like they they're not letting week one define them. They're saying that we know what our standard is just because week one was just a debacle on all fronts doesn't mean we've lost our identity. We still know who we are and Riley is part of that part of that identity keeping that together keeping those standards high keeping those goals high. I mean it was just everything everything was just amazing and I just you know when it comes to the game itself Brandon Walker from Broncos Wire said although Moss had an illegal contact penalty to negate the the Benito strip sack he more than made up for it with a third quarter interception. Moss's turnover completely turned the tide of the game leading to the the first Broncos touchdown of the game tying the contest at 13 points. Moss also nearly had a second interception showing that his offseason training camp performance was no fluke. Moss is geared up for a big year with Sertana on one side and a better Riley Moss on the other. Denver could shut down entire offenses in 2026 and that's just it's so sick to like see this like kind of finally come to fruition. We know what we have with him he's amazing. Sia Banninger from Predominantly Orange said the entire Broncos defense played outstanding against the Jacksonville Jaguars but Riley Moss is the one who ended up making the game-changing play. After wiping a beautiful strip sack by Nick Benito off the board earlier in the game due to the illegal contact penalty Moss found redemption with an interception on a badly telegraphed throw from Trevor Lawrence. It doesn't get talked about all that often but Moss actually tied for the NFL lead last season with 19 passes broken up. That's somewhat expected considering he was targeted in more of his in coverage at a career high 118 times. Moss has become known more for his issues with penalties than his ability to cover which is top tier. He had three passes defended against the Jaguars bringing his total up to four already this season. And that's the is like when you have a hall of fame level best corner in the league several years running you know former defensive player of the year on one side yeah people like they people don't even target him the Jaguars I think targeted ps2 once and he uh I think it was btj he was so blanketed that they're like like btj had to like try and like tackle pat pat certain to even get like you know uh try and get leverage to get the ball back like it was just an amazing like display of just how like fruitless it would be to even target pat certain in any light uh but yeah like it's just you know riley it was such a clutch moment for him like so tim lynch from mile high report said that he has to start when talking complimenting the uh the team with the defense the offense was stumbling around for two and a half quarters and the defense hadn't shown up with fire in their bellies this game could have gotten out of hand early uh instead every time it seemed like the jaguars were going to step on their throats the defense stood up and made a play in my mind none was bigger than one uh than the interception in by riley moss he'd already had himself a pretty good game with three passes defended and two tackles but with the jags crossing midfield again up by a touchdown they couldn't afford to let them add more points there riley moss made a great play and turned the tide and i just love all this to say riley is he he is the definition of a guy who just is misunderstood by the nfl anytime that you know like like for example we were going to go into a playoff game just wait everyone's gonna be like riley moss is a liability like they'll be saying that like oh you obviously can't target but riley moss can get got is is how the they'll you know pronounce it or whatever um and i would just i i've been on the riley my riley moss defense uh defense like this you know for years now and it just feels like you know he's been getting better and better he he like has embraced the challenge of being across from ps2 so well he knows that like listen i'm not as good as ps2 no one is but like i'm obviously proud to be his running mate like i'm to be the corner across from him some people were like debating after last season like is jquan mcmillan gonna be the guy to take over for riley moss it's gonna be you know mcmillan and and ps2 as the two top corners i just don't think that's the case i think riley is really making a name for like okay it's gonna be riley he's gonna earn that extension and which kind of sucks because jquan mcmillan is also extremely clutch i mean he is made for the big games which feels like it adds to the urgency of this season trying to win it all because you know when you have that many guys who are able to perform well in the clutch you can't pay everybody um where are we getting into like the sudden of it this week because there was a con a contract thing that happened with sudden that made people go oh it seems like the gearing up for the future in a way that i don't know it's gonna be controversial for some broncos fans um but overall i mean listen i mean i just riley right now strong start to the season i'm liking what i'm seeing i don't really care who wins it between riley and jquan mcmillan whoever is going to be the better cornerback too is just gonna be the guy who deserves it i mean like i trust sean and uh his talent evaluation i trust uh payton and um a lot i mean they they you know vance joseph and his system we got exposed in week one we weren't ready we weren't prepared in the way that we thought we were gonna be we realized okay we have a tough stretch coming up game wise we got to go out and earn it and uh so the broncos seem to have taken on that challenge really really well um just like riley moss you know like it's it's a it's a mindset that riley's had for several years the broncos as a team now have realized to kind of consolidate that into a way where it's like okay we have to be better than what we thought we were and they rose to the occasion against the jaguars they got their revenge um and now they've probably already moved on to okay we're playing sunday night again we're on prime time um i don't even know if they're focusing on the prime time aspect of it but it's gonna be big game after big game when it comes to the broncos they earned that last season and now they got to live up to it there's there's a consistency factor to being a great team and i do believe that you know the broncos are going to make sure that that that was not a mistake that this wasn't a one-time thing i'm sure a lot of chiefs fans nick writes out there believe that you know the broncos had a flash in the pan uh it is the the job of the broncos to make sure that they they have unfinished business that this is a team that mostly stayed consistent with the roster from last year with a few additions like jalen wattle who was fantastic obviously against the jags that are meant to help repel this team to super bowl winning caliber not just making the super bowl so q robinson i'm excited for i i expected him to be the guy to step up and be the guy across from nick benito as the pass rushing duo the new pass rushing duo for the broncos i mean we don't even know what's with jonathan cooper um but it just seems like okay so they had ellis maybe as the guy who's initially going to be uh the starting pass rusher q robinson is quickly making a name or is you know putting in uh his name as to why he should be the guy and uh he just looks like better fit so far so we'll find out soon on uh how good this defense can be this year and whether they can live up to last year they said they said that they are looking to break the sack record obviously not on pace just yet we have a lot of good competition to go up against but i'm excited nonetheless what do you guys think about all this what do you think about riley's performance q robinson's performance the defense's performance uh yesterday against a good jags offense and liam cohen's team uh let me know in the comments down below until next video i'll see you then
