Ok, so I went to dive a bit deeper into the Denver's passing defense woes and here is what I found: most of the damage against their passing D has come via the TE and RB position. I did a full table with every player that has caught a pass against the Broncos this year and here is the breakdown:

Favre spreads the ball around pretty well. You can see that Morency has caught 5 balls per game on average since coming back from injury and the TEs and RBs are definitely in the mix here.
