Broncos CB Moss Shines Amidst Heavy Targeting
10 Jan
Summary
- Moss, Broncos' CB2, faced 116 targets, the most in the NFL.
- He allowed the fourth-lowest passer rating (83.7) among targeted players.
- His performance could decide the Broncos' playoff success.
Denver's cornerback, currently operating as the team's CB2, has demonstrated resilience this season by consistently drawing targets from opposing offenses. Faced with an NFL-high 116 targets, a situation often arising when playing alongside a Defensive Player of the Year, the cornerback has largely succeeded.
His performance metrics are notable, especially considering the volume of passes thrown his way. He has posted the league's fourth-lowest passer rating allowed, standing at 83.7 among players who have seen 90 or more targets. This resilience has been key for the Broncos.
As the Broncos head into the playoffs, they are set to face elite quarterbacks. The success of their postseason run may hinge on this cornerback's continued ability to hold his own on the perimeter against top-tier pass catchers.
