The Denver Broncos defeated the New York Jets 10-9 on a rainy, sloppy day in New Jersey on Sunday. After the victory, Broncos coach Sean Payton called it a gritty performance.

Now, some teams are capable of still being productive on the ground in those scenarios. The L.A. Chargers (no surprise under new coach Jim Harbaugh), New Orleans and New England are among the teams running the ball well despite facing eight-man boxes more frequently than almost everybody in the league.

On Monday, Broncos defensive end Zach Allen lamented McGlinchey's injury but expressed his confidence that the group can persevere through the adversity. Finding a way to compensate for the loss of McGlinchey's veteran leadership won't be easy. Once again, it's all about trusting the next man up.
