NFL Power Rankings for Week 9: Are they beginning to Bo-lieve?
The national media has to start taking notice of the 6-2 Denver Broncos. They don’t quite bo-lieve yet, but if they keep winning….
The Denver Broncos are currently sitting at the number two seed in the AFC following four straight wins, placing them in a favorable position heading into Week 9. However, many national media outlets have started to pay attention to the team this week, ranking them between 3rd and 6th in their power rankings. Denver's success has led to speculation that they may soon be "bo-lieved" in by the media.
Teams like the Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers, and Chicago Bears are currently playing more complete football than the Broncos. The Denver Broncos have had several standout performances, including a fourth-quarter comeback against the Kansas City Chiefs that should give fans hope for improvement in their offensive struggles.
Quarterback Bo Nix has shown improvement in passing the ball downfield, while running back Jonah Coleman has broken out with big plays. The defense has also been strong, finishing games in the Broncos' favor.
If the Broncos can continue this upward trajectory, they could round into top form by December and contend for the AFC West crown. However, some outlets question whether Denver's offense is strong enough to sustain success. The team has won five consecutive home games against former league MVPs and survived a challenging stretch of their schedule. Despite concerns about quarterback Bo Nix's performance, many believe he is doing enough right now to keep the Broncos competitive.
