Following a decisive 31-10 defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs in their Week 1 Monday Night Football encounter, the Denver Broncos have seen a considerable decline in the most recent NFL power rankings. They now stand at 13th place, a notable decrease of 10 positions from their preseason standing.
Analyst Nate Davis of USA TODAY Sports commented on Denver's performance, suggesting a potential shift in offensive play-calling duties. He implied that if the team continues to deliver similar performances to their Kansas City game, head coach Sean Payton might soon reassume play-calling responsibilities from offensive coordinator Davis Webb.
Across the AFC West division, the Chiefs are positioned at No. 6, while the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders are ranked No. 25 and No. 29, respectively. Looking ahead, the Broncos are set to host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2, a team currently placed at No. 8 in the rankings. Nationally, the Seattle Seahawks hold the top spot, and the Miami Dolphins are at the bottom, ranked 32nd.
