The Denver Broncos' pass rush has returned with a fury through the first eight games of the 2026 NFL season, highlighted by a game-sealing sack from Malcolm Roach against the Kansas City Chiefs.
On November 1, 2026, at Empower Field at Mile High, Roach brought down Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on the final play of the game, securing a 28-24 victory for Denver. The sack capped a dominant performance by the Broncos' defensive front, which has consistently pressured opposing quarterbacks throughout the early season.
The win over the Chiefs showcased the unit's ability to generate pressure at critical moments, a trend that has defined Denver's defensive identity through eight games.
