Following a 26-20 road loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1, the Denver Broncos are ranked 28th in Nate Davis’ first round of 2024 NFL power rankings for USA TODAY Sports. That makes the Broncos the fifth-worst team in the league, at least in Davis’ estimation.
Here is Davis’ commentary on Denver after one week of action:
If you thought QB Bo Nix’s age (24) was going to prevent him playing like a rookie in his debut … welp.
Nix went 26-of-42 for 138 yards with two interceptions in his NFL debut. He also rushed for 35 yards and a touchdown.
Elsewhere in the AFC West, the Kansas City Chiefs are ranked No. 1, the Los Angeles Chargers are ranked No. 18 and the Las Vegas Raiders are ranked No. 30. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who the Broncos will host in Week 2, are ranked No. 17 after their 18-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons (No 19).
The New York Giants are ranked No. 32 (last). To view the complete NFL power rankings, visit USATODAY.com.
