If there is any shred of good news for the Denver Broncos after their heartbreaking loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, it is that Patrick Surtain is now the odds-on favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY). Per DraftKings, Surtain has now usurped Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher, T.J. Watt, for the lead in the DPOY race. He now has -200 odds to win the award. Surtain has solidified himself as the best corner in the league this season and has had a career year. In the few games without Surtain, Denver’s defense showed how reliant they are on the former Alabama product. Whether or not the Broncos make the playoffs, Surtain himself should not be ashamed of the impressive campaign he has put together this year.
