Broncos Climb NFL Power Rankings -- Here's the Week 3 Consensus

After a rough season opener, the Denver Broncos’ Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars (20-13) has improved their position in multiple NFL power rankings. Denver climbed to No. 8 in ESPN’s rankings, with ESPN pointing to offensive struggles near the red zone, including a rare Bo Nix interception in the red area and a goal-line stop that denied J.K. Dobbins on three straight attempts. NFL.com kept Denver at No. 6, calling the offense “hot-and-cold” but better in Week 2, while Sports Illustrated moved the Broncos to No. 7 and credited the use of Jaylen Waddle. CBS Sports placed Denver at No. 9.
