Five Key Matchups: Broncos vs. Titans
Take a look at five of the key matchups for Sunday's game between the Broncos and the Titans.
Verner leads the AFC with five interceptions this season and is tied for the NFL lead with 17 passes defensed. His efforts could go a long way in slowing down Peyton Manning and his record pace.
Terrance Knighton is the most experience defensive tackle on the team and has spent more time on the field this year than any of the defensive tackles. His production on Sunday will have a major impact on running back Chris Johnson -- the team's leader in touchdowns with seven.
Kendall Wright has been the Titans' leading receiver this season as he has made 71 catches for 840 yards and two touchdowns. If the Broncos can take Wright away as a threat, it will limit quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's options.
Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown for more than 1,500 yards in seven games this season in addition to rushing for 200 yards on 34 attempts. Linebacker Von Miller will be looking to get to Fitzpatrick and limit his mobility.
The Broncos are tied for the league lead for fewest sacks allowed this season and lead the NFL in zero-sack games. Jurrell Casey, who leads the Titans with nine sacks this year, will be looking to add to his season total.
