There's no discordance in the locker room, though.
The defense even has depth. Last week, practice squad graduate Shaquil Barrett filled in for DeMarcus Ware (back) and was selected as the team's defensive player of the game with nine tackles, two QB hits, a pass breakup and a sack-strip-recovery in addition to his tackle for loss and shared sack in overtime that pushed the Browns out of field-goal range following Manning's third interception.
What they need to do is get healthy up front, and their five-day furlough should help.
"It's fun to watch stuff like that," coach Gary Kubiak said.
"If we don't produce those numbers, don't play how we've been playing, who knows? We could easily be 0-6," safety David Bruton Jr. said. "We're 6-0 and have a long season to go and a lot more work to do."
Especially the offense, where the line has been beset by injuries, the tight ends are non-factors, the running backs keep getting stuffed,
China Jerseys Wholesale, the receivers keep dropping passes and Manning is looking his age.
Now it's the other way around.
Brandon McManus has bailed them out by making 16 of 17 field goals.
Led by Von Miller, who has an NFL-high 31 quarterback hurries, the Broncos have made game-saving plays in crunch time in all six wins. Subtracting the 34 points opponents have scored off turnovers, including three pick-6s, Denver's defense is allowing just 11 points a game.
Manning used to be the one whose play led to all the laughter in the locker room. He averaged 44 touchdown throws in his first three seasons in Denver, including a record 55 two years ago.
Should the Broncos' offensive struggles continue,
Jerseys NFL Cheap, this defense is confident it can carry the load all season, much like the 2000 Ravens or 1985 Bears.
"We're trying to win ballgames,
Jerseys NFL China," tackle Tyler Polumbus said. "It doesn't matter where we get the points."
Manning & Co. will have to do better than the 1.5 TDs they're averaging per game. Even Tim Tebow's scoring-challenged teams averaged two TDs a game, which got him a one-way ticket to New York.
You'd have thought the offense had sprung the blocks the way the players reacted on the sideline.
The offense has lots of work to do, and things started to improve last week at Cleveland when the Broncos topped 150 yards rushing, albeit against the league's worst run defense.
Never in his NFL career has Peyton Manning been so reliant on his defense or his kicker to bail him out.
Doesn't Polumbus know it.
When they were running the ball well last weekend, they got the look they wanted on defense and Manning hit Emmanuel Sanders in stride for a 75-yard touchdown that ended their 25-drive streak without reaching the end zone.
More often than not, the Broncos needed every one of his precise TD passes because their defense was deficient, riddled by injuries or just too conservative.
No other NFL team has as big a disparity as the Broncos do in terms of their second-ranked defense and 29th-ranked offense,

"We have faith in Peyton," Harris said. "We know it's not just him. We know we need to get the run game going, get everybody going. We know that once they start clicking, it's going to be over."
