Broncos' Zach Allen: Gets sack Sunday
Rotowire
Allen recorded one tackle (one solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 20-12 win versus the Titans.
Allen led Denver's defensive tackles in snaps (44) in Week 1, so it would almost have been disappointing if he didn't get to rookie quarterback Cam Ward on a day where his team recorded six sacks. He might spend more time filling gaps against the run when the Broncos travel to take on Indianapolis in Week 2.
Allen signed a four-year, $102 million contract extension with the Broncos on Saturday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
The deal includes $69.5 million guaranteed and makes him the NFL's third-highest paid interior defensive lineman behind Chris Jones and Milton Williams, per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette. Allen logged a career-high 8.5 sacks in 16 regular-season games in 2024, and his contract extension ensures that he'll be part of the Broncos' long-term plans on defense.
Allen finished the 2024 regular season with 61 tackles (32 solo), including 8.5 sacks, and one pass defense across 16 games.
Allen logged career highs in tackles and sacks in 2024, and his sack count was third-highest on Denver behind Nik Bonitto (13.5) and Jonathon Cooper (10.5). Allen, Bonitto, Cooper and John Franklin-Myers played an integral role for a Broncos' pass rush that registered a league-best 63.0 sacks during the regular season. Allen's best performance of the season came in Week 17 against the Bengals, when he recorded 3.5 sacks and played a role in five of the Broncos' seven takedowns of Joe Burrow.
