Denver Broncos week eight power rankings roundup

Where do the Denver Broncos rank in week eight power rankings?

The Denver Broncos came up very short in their goal to defeat the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Aside from running back Phillip Lindsay and a couple of defensive players, it was just not a very good game. So, where do they rank in week eight power rankings?
