2018 NFL Power Rankings Week 2: Los Angeles Rams crush Oakland Raiders 33-13

14. Denver Broncos

Ever since Peyton Manning retired, the Denver Broncos have found it difficult to find a reliable replacement under center, that is until Case Keenum came on board this offseason. It’s only been one game for Keenum, and there were some concerns seeing him toss three interceptions against the Seattle Seahawks, but just the fact that Denver is putting up points is a huge positive when compared to the last two years.

In a way, it was unfair to watch the Broncos’ defense come through on their end for the most part, only to see the offense struggle to put up points. But when seeing how Keenum was able to connect for three touchdown passes during his regular-season debut with his new team, Denver has to feel confident over what’s going to be in store for the upcoming season.

As long as Keenum lives up to the hype, the Broncos will be in a great position to have one of the top overall teams in the NFL. And if that happens to be the case, Denver will have a much better chance at putting an end to their two-year playoff drought, although it’s certainly not going to be easy playing in the AFC West.
