The Denver Broncos have finally clawed their way out of irrelevancy. This time last year, no one was ranking this franchise above the high 20s in their power rankings. Even after drafting Bo Nix there wasn’t much fanfare with their projected win total at just 5.5-points. Well they nearly doubled that expectation and made the playoffs for the first time since the 2015 season, so naturally, sentiment is shifting ahead of the 2025 season.
In ESPN’s ‘Way-Too-Early’ power rankings this week, the Broncos slid in as the AFC’s seventh seed and 14th overall in the NFL.
