Denver's Run Defense: More Holes Than a Swiss Cheese Avalanche
Let's face it, folks, Denver's run defense in the past season was about as effective as a chocolate teapot stopping a runaway bison. They were porous, like a sieve in a rainstorm. Opposing running backs practically waltzed through untouched, racking up yards like a grocery cart on a coupon day.
But fear not, Broncos fans! We're here to inject some humor (and maybe a smidge of reality) into this whole situation.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.

Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
- Denver ranked dead last in the NFL against the run, giving up a whopping 144 yards per game on average. That's like getting a free first down every other drive!

A glimmer of hope (maybe?)

Is it a complete turnaround? Eh, not quite yet. But hey, baby steps, right?
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
