Broncos defense is the same as last year, when they were also very good. No one acknowledged it because that would change the narrative that Manning IS the team.
People think that Wade Phillips is making this defense elite. But the thing is with Wade Phillips, he usually has initial success with his defenses and they get worse over time. And Brady usually does well against them. Here is an article from SMY on the history of Brady vs. Phillips

And one from Christopher Price:

I want to see the Broncos' defense vs. a team like the Pats who can spread them out and use Phillip's overly aggressive style against them like the Pats always do. Brady always gets the best of these types of defenses. I think the Chargers will too in the division.
