Biggest breakthrough: RB Phillip Lindsay. Lindsay, signed as an undrafted rookie free agent, has seen his production dip in recent weeks, but the (Denver) South High School graduate has been the hub of the Broncos' offense since the first week of the season and is fifth in the league in rushing. Honorable mention goes to LB Bradley Chubb, who as the No. 5 pick of the draft was expected to be an impact player, but he has likely exceeded the Broncos' high hopes for him. He has 12 sacks, has been a consistent performer in run defense and showed every bit of the level-headed maturity the Broncos thought he had before the draft. As linebacker Von Miller put it: "Chubb? The sky is the limit for him. He can do it all.''
