A great finish is everything, as Joseph stated on Thursday. We are attempting to maintain a standard. The same rules apply regardless of who we’re playing with, where we’re playing, or how many games remain. Hopefully, on Sunday, we can play dominant defense, which is our goal.

Joseph underlined the value of playing a full game and figuring out how to limit the number of spectacular plays that the opposing offense can muster. Even though Denver kept New England mostly in check in Week 16, a few significant gains changed the outcome of a three-point contest.

According to Joseph, the objective is always to play the entire game. Although we’re playing hard and producing enough plays, we occasionally give up big plays, which has cost us points. The secret is to simply concentrate on the details and to occasionally resist giving up on the big plays.

Except for a late completion to Quentin Johnston, the Broncos were able to accomplish that against Chargers quarterback Easton Stick in Week 14. Joseph claims that Stick’s agility can cause problems for defenders as he gets ready for the Los Angeles signal caller.

He can make your day long by making second-act plays, but if you don’t cage [rush] him, he’s really accurate with the football, according to Joseph. Therefore, it goes without saying that we must cage him, rush him respectfully, and cover the receivers.

In addition to reiterating the importance of stopping those big plays, cornerback Pat Surtain II discussed the significance of winning back-to-back divisional games to conclude the regular season. The Broncos would record a winning record in AFC West play for the first time since 2015 with victories over the Chargers and Raiders.

Finishing the season strong would be crucial for the company, according to Surtain. Since they are obviously divisional opponents, winning these two games would be really important for us as a club. All we’re thinking about is these last two games and where they’re going.
