Following a 32-31 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17, the Denver Broncos are now ranked No. 25 in Nate Davis’ latest NFL power rankings for USA TODAY Sports. That’s up three spots from their No. 28 rank last week.
Here is Davis’ commentary with Denver’s ranking:
A little strange that John Elway vacates his GM role, but leaves his successor a coach who will immediately start 2021 on the hot seat?
Elway stepped down as the team’s general manager on Monday but he will remain the president of football operations. After winning five AFC West titles and a Super Bowl, Elway has failed to return to the playoffs since quarterback Peyton Manning retired in 2016.
After securing the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars are ranked No. 32 in the power rankings. The Green Bay Packers are ranked No. 2 behind the first-place Kansas City Chiefs, the only two-loss team in the league.
