Cover 2 defense could be Peyton Manning's Kryptonite

Statistically, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning had his worst game of the season during Sunday's 35-19 win vs. Jacksonville. The Jaguars held Manning to season lows in passing yards (295), yards per play (7.0) and points (35). 

How did the Jaguars slow down Manning? Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said his team was able to have some success against Manning using a version of the Cover 2 defense.

"In Seattle, we played less than 20 snaps of Cover 2 on first and second down. I wanted to play it a bit more here. That was one of the reasons for bringing in (defensive coordinator) Bob Babich from Chicago. They played a lot of Cover 2. But it’s not the old Tampa 2. It’s different the way we play it," Bradley said, per The Florida Times-Union. "Everybody perceives Cover 2 as bend but don’t break. But that’s not our style. We like to be aggressive to get corners in their face. I thought the combination of what we did (in Tampa) along with Babich’s expertise would be a good package to be used in a situation like this."
