"No doubt, so it was a little different for me," Surtain said."
"Them guys they exude a lot of confidence out there, they were playing lights out, it made me a fan to watch on the sidelines," Surtain said. " ... You could tell everybody was together, flying around, playing good ball."
"We kind of had those two young guys split Pat's role and it's worked out for both guys," Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said. "And moving forward it's huge for our team to have those guys play so many meaningful reps. To get Pat back now, we have no worries. Depth is what you have to have to win a championship and we have that (at cornerback) now."
Pat Surtain II, a two-time first-team All-Pro and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, feels anxious but ready to return to the lineup for Sunday night's game against the Washington Commanders after missing three games with a partially torn pectoral muscle. The Broncos will have full defensive depth with linebacker Alex Singleton also back after cancer surgery. Denver leads the NFL in sacks and ranks highly in limiting opposing quarterback QBR and scoring defense. Kris Abrams-Draine and rookie Jahdae Barron split Surtain's role while he was out, and the team went 3-0 during his absence.
