Following their 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, the Denver Broncos are now ranked 10th in Nate Davis’ latest NFL power rankings for USA TODAY Sports. That’s up three spots from the team’s No. 13 rank last week.
Here is Davis’ commentary on the Broncos following the Colts win:
Nik Bonitto is the first linebacker since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to score touchdowns covering at least 50 yards in successive games – just one indicator of how dominant this defense has become, tied with Philly for fewest points allowed this season.
Elsewhere in the AFC West, the Kansas City Chiefs are ranked No. 6, the Los Angeles Chargers are ranked No. 16 and the Las Vegas Raiders are ranked No. 30. The Broncos will face the Chargers in L.A. on Thursday.
The Buffalo Bills are ranked No. 1 and the New York Giants are ranked No. 32 (last). To view the complete NFL power rankings going into Week 16, visit USATODAY.com.
