NFL Power Rankings, Week 9: 49ers embarrass Panthers, Eagles shock Bills
By Dan Parzych
27. Denver Broncos (27)
Down the road, this will be one of those games in which the Denver Broncos look back on knowing they should have won instead of allowing the Indianapolis Colts to fight back to pull off a thrilling 15-13 win.
A few weeks ago, the Bronco seemed to finally be turning things around after putting together two impressive wins in a row, only to enter Week 9 losing two in a row.
When looking at how impressive Indianapolis as a team has been over the last two months as a top contender in the AFC, this would have been huge for a struggling team in Denver.
To top it off, Joe Flacco didn’t hold back after the game expressing his frustrations with the Broncos on offense since this is the last position the former Super Bowl MVP expected to be in when he came on board through a trade in the offseason.
After it finally seemed like the offense would take a major step in the right direction with a reliable quarterback in Flacco, Denver looks like the same struggling team from the last couple of years.
With a few more losses, the Broncos season could watch their season be over sooner than expected since early signs already point to this team missing out on the playoffs yet again.
