Murphy had 0 sacks. Correlating him playing to the defense being better doesn't pass the test.
Denver weak? Pittsburgh? It was the same Pittsburgh team that put 44 on them just a few weeks earlier. Look, it's the same D we saw either give up big yards, lots of points or couldn't get opponents off the field for the better part of 2 seasons and there were plenty of weak teams that did one of those three I described.
Bottom line is you play who you play and they got significantly better as they got younger the last handful of games.
