30. Denver Broncos (0-2)

The Denver Broncos followed up a Week 1 stinker against the Oakland Raiders with another disappointing loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 2 to fall to 0-2.

Looking dead and down 13-3 in the fourth quarter, the Broncos showed some signs of life and not only climbed back into the game, they actually took a late lead on a touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Emmanuel Sanders, which was followed up by a two-point conversion with just over two minutes left in regulation.

Clinging to a 14-13 lead, the Broncos defense allowed the Bears to drive 40 yards in less than 30 seconds to get into field goal range for Eddy Pineiro. You could almost feel the dread of Bears fans knowing this game was coming down to a field goal kick, but Pineiro was able to nail his 53-yard attempt, giving the Bears the win.

It was a tough loss for the Broncos, who showed some fight after barely showing up for the Week 1 game. Now the Broncos will have to live with this loss as they head to Lambeau Field to take on the Packers in Week 3.
