Where do the Denver Broncos rank in week 10 power rankings following their loss to the Falcons?

We come to you now with week 10 power rankings. After another week of losing, there are more things to analyze and criticize when it comes to the Denver Broncos. Whose fault was it for the loss against the Falcons? Who did well?

The Broncos have climbed out of the bottom 13 of the power rankings probably one time this year and that’s only according to one source doing their own rankings. It’s been a struggle this year with so many injuries and such a young team.

There are plenty of Drew Lock critics out there. There are plenty of Pat Shurmur critics. There are also plenty of Vic Fangio critics. The truth is, it’s all part of the equation.

The reality is that the Broncos are in a year in which they’re trying to get on their feet and stay there. It’s a learning year for everybody involved. Prior to week 1, there were some who had high expectations of this team for 2020. I, myself, was part of that group of people. But with a new offensive coordinator and a second-year head coach, issues were bound to happen.

We’ve also talked about the injury bug this team has had this year. While some people may say that they should be able to succeed no matter what, the loss of their top wide receiver, right tackle (opt-out), cornerback for a few weeks, and their top pass rusher, really hurts them. The depth just isn’t there to replace certain key players.

We have to realize, too, that there will be some good weeks and some bad weeks. That is the case for literally every team in professional sports. That’s the nature of it. Hopefully, soon the Broncos will figure out a way to get on a winning stretch.

For now, we enter week 10 and see what the analysts think in their week 10 power rankings of the Broncos this week as they will take on the Las Vegas Raiders.
