The Broncos defense is doing a lot of talking in advance of their AFC Championship game against the Patriots on Sunday.

It started when Denver linebacker Brandon Marshall said New England tight end Rob Gronkowski “pushes off” to get open. Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said that you have to hit Gronkowski low on ESPN, to which the tight end responded on Twitter as only he could.

And, of course, you’ve heard by now that defensive end Antonio Smith essentially said Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is a crybaby. All that and it’s only Tuesday.

But wait, there’s more!

On PFT Live Tuesday, Broncos defensive end Malik Jackson had more to say on Brady.

“I mean when we played him he definitely threw some temper tantrums,” Jackson said, according to Pro Football Talk. “It’s one of those things that you know. He definitely [says], ‘What’s going on? Why?’

“Definitely one of those whiners that whines but it’s a competitive game. I know I wouldn’t be whining like that, but some people do. So he’s definitely a whiner but he’s actually a big time player, competitor, too.”

Sunday’s going to be fun.
