Denver Broncos week 13 power rankings roundup.

It’s been yet another crazy week for the Denver Broncos, but not because of injury. Sure, they have experienced their fair share of injuries throughout the year, but it’s another reason this time around.

As you know, the team was forced to start a player at the quarterback position who has been a practice squad wide receiver and hadn’t thrown a single pass in the last two years before Sunday’s loss to the New Orleans Saints.

That player was Kendall Hinton, an unknown.

That ended up being bad for all parties on the team. Not only did the Broncos lose, but they completed just a single pass the entire game. This isn’t the Tebow NFL anymore. There was no way they were going to come out of that game with a win.

Even though it was just one game, this situation should not have even happened.

Like I mentioned on Monday, the issue isn’t necessarily the fact that the team lost; they could have lost with Drew Lock and it would have been better that way as he would have gotten experience with his wide receivers.

Now, onto a new week. This week, the Broncos head to Kansas City to take on the division rival Chiefs in a Sunday Night Showdown.

Let’s see what the media has to say regarding this week’s placement in the power rankings.
