NFL power rankings Week 1: Tennessee Titans land just outside top 10
By Will Lomas
21. Denver Broncos
If the Denver Broncos played anywhere else maybe I wouldn’t be so high on there, but there really is something about their homefield advantage in that altitude that makes them a scarier team.
Von Miller is always great and with Bradley Chubb opposite him it feels like the Broncos are easy to pencil in as one of the 5-pass rushing defense. Behind them is Chris Harris and Justin Simmons both of which should be able to enhance that pass defense even more.
Phillip Lindsay and Wolverine, whoops sorry that auto corrected. I mean to say, with Phillip Lindsay and Emmanuel Sanders anchoring the skill positions, you can’t just beat the Broncos with any team roster in the NFL.
20. Detroit Lions
Are the Lions good? I say yes because I feel like every time I get really down on Matt Stafford he comes back and has a big year. However, an interesting offensive line along with T.J. Hockenson, Kenny Golladay, Danny Amendola, and a duo if interesting running backs I think this offense should be pretty solid.
Defensively, the front line is good but there is nothing outside of Darius Slay and Justin Coleman that give me any kind of hope that this defense will be top-20 without a great coaching job from Matt Patricia.
