Week 12: Where do the 6-5 Denver Broncos stand in NFL power rankings?

Week 12: Where do the 6-5 Denver Broncos stand in NFL power rankings?

Here’s where the Denver Broncos are showing up in this week’s power rankings around the NFL.

Bo Nix and the Broncos got things right back on track after a brutal loss in Kansas City from that blocked game-winner. They dismantled the Atlanta Falcons in convincing fashion and are back above .500.

It has been a few weeks since I’ve last did a pulse check on Denver’s rankings around the league. For me, looking over the NFL landscape, I think the Broncos are coming along nicely. If I had to rank them today, I’d put them right there around 12th. They...

Chiefs open stretch run against rested, resurgent Panthers

Chiefs open stretch run against rested, resurgent Panthers

Carolina is hosting Kansas City in Week 12.

The 9-1 Kansas City Chiefs begin the season’s stretch run with their final 2024 matchup against an NFC South opponent, facing the 3-7 Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Week 12’s kickoff is scheduled for noon (Arrowhead Time) on CBS.

The Chiefs are coming off their first defeat of the season — a 30-21 road loss to the Buffalo Bills — but still control the AFC’s No. 1 postseason seed. They will be trying to start another winning streak against a Carolina team that is fresh off...

No. 3: Kansas City Chiefs

The door is definitely still open for a chance at a three-peat, but you’re lying to yourself if you think this is the best iteration of the Chiefs we’ve seen in recent years. A lack of weapons has finally caught up to Kansas City, and that’s led to the least-effective version we’ve seen of Patrick Mahomes in years.

Make no mistake: Mahomes is still the best quarterback in the...

The Broncos can’t afford a loss in their next three games if they want to see the postseason

Broncos Country is riding high after their team’s big win this past Sunday. But let me point out to you that what the Denver Broncos need to do now is go on a winning streak.

If the Broncos are going to see the postseason, they can’t afford a bad loss to any of their next three opponents (Raiders, Browns, and Colts). All three of their next games are against weaker opponents on paper. These are the kind of games that playoff teams...

Broncos film review: Quinn Meinerz dominates the Falcons

Broncos film review: Quinn Meinerz dominates the Falcons

See how pivotal Quinn Meinerz was in Denver’s demolition of the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11.

Quinn Meinerz is a freak. And besides Pat Surtain II, I think he should be known as the greatest draft pick made by Denver over, at least, the last decade (that 2021 draft class as a whole is great). Meinerz is consistently dominating the man in front of him and creating plenty of space in the run game and time in the pass game.

And his performance against the Atlanta Falcons might be the best of his season so far.

A solo piece on...

Week 12 power rankings roundup: Raiders’ rookie Brock Bowers getting major love; team isn’t though

Week 12 power rankings roundup: Raiders’ rookie Brock Bowers getting major love; team isn’t though

Record-setting tight end one of the true bright spots as Las Vegas inhabits bottom of several rankings

Brock to the Future. That’s the best way to sum up the national power rankings that feature the Las Vegas Raiders.

Brock Bowers, the No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is getting major love across the board as the tight end is one of the true bright spots for a moribund franchise. He’s setting franchise and league records and is arguably the lone productive and reliable weapon in Scott Turner’s offense.

The Raiders overall, however, are not getting much love....

Broncos Reacts Survey: How does Denver fare over the next four weeks?

Broncos Reacts Survey: How does Denver fare over the next four weeks?

The Denver Broncos have a favorable schedule. Can they run the table ahead of their rematch with the Los Angeles Chargers?

The next three games are vital for the Denver Broncos. They have a chance to surge into the AFC playoff picture if they can play like they did on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. So my question this week is to gauge where fans think Denver ends up ahead of their Week 16 rematch against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Let’s take a look at Denver’s upcoming schedule:

Denver Broncos Film Room: Defense caps explosive Falcons offense

The Denver Broncos defense came up big this past Sunday against Kirk Cousins and an explosive Atlanta Falcons offense that had a multitude of weapons to go to. Defensively, the Broncos found a way to limit the explosive plays on the ground from Bijan Robinson and through the air against Darnell Mooney, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts. What did the All-22 film review show us?

Raiders 2025: Deion, Shedeur Sanders package deal?

Would you welcome Colorado father-son combo?

The rumors are already out there.

The Las Vegas Raiders will be looking tp draft a quarterback in the first round of the 2025 draft.

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is expected to be one of the first quarterbacks taken and, thus. the Raiders and Sanders have been often speculated about.

His father and Colorado head coach, Deion Sanders, has said he will get in the way of a tea, he doesn’t want to draft his son. Yet, there has also been speculation Deion could be joining his son in the NFL in 2025.

NFL power rankings Week 12 roundup: Chiefs fall — but how much?

Let’s see how Kansas City is ranked after its first loss of the season.

Here’s a summary of this week’s comments about the Kansas City Chiefs...

Don’t overreact about Kansas City’s first loss, which didn’t happen until almost Thanksgiving; it felt like it was coming for the past several weeks. The Chiefs came down to earth, losing a rare two-possession game at Buffalo. [That means] we’ve gone from talking about an unbeaten season to suddenly wondering if Kansas City will end up with a first-round bye in the playoffs. [But] now, the Chiefs know precisely what they can and...
