Denver Broncos: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#9)

Last week: 9 (+0)

Record: 3-3

In the first half against San Diego, you had to wonder if Peyton Manning was questioning his decision to join this team. He was meeting or exceeding his career averages across the board and yet his team was 2-3. He was playing a good game and yet he was down 24-0 because of two special teams fumbles, Eric Decker tripping on the way to an easy touchdown, and Matt Willis running the wrong route against a blitz. However, then his defense picked him up by forcing five 2nd half turnovers and it was all good.
