The Denver Broncos are facing significant challenges on defense following the injury of cornerback Riley Moss. His absence has forced the team to shift from their preferred man coverage to zone strategies, resulting in increased points allowed per game.

With Moss potentially returning to action soon, the Broncos are hopeful he can help mitigate the threats posed by the Cincinnati Bengals' offense, led by Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase. Coach Sean Payton emphasized Moss's importance to the team's defensive success.
