The Broncos' wide defensive line alignment gives Josh Allen a free pass to scramble up the middle.

They line up super, super wide and when you line up super wide... it gives Josh Allen free reign to look at the guards, look at the center, figure out where he is gonna go... Josh is a guy who can drop back in a non non scheme anything and just be like, oh, the ends are by me. I'm gonna take what's given to me.

This is a tactical observation. Its 'correctness' would be proven if Allen successfully scrambles through the middle during the game.

Road teams have a significant advantage in NFL games played on Christmas Day
