25. Denver Broncos (2-5)

Recap: The Denver Broncos seemed to be back on track after two straight wins, but Joe Flacco and the offense failed to show up in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. After scoring an opening-drive touchdown on a Royce Freeman run, the Broncos failed to score a single point the rest of the way. Flacco was ineffective and got sacked eight times, and the Broncos failed to take advantage of Patrick Mahomes’ early exit due to injury.

Outlook: As badly as Flacco played, it doesn’t look like the Broncos are going to make a switch at quarterback. The biggest issue for the Broncos has been playing a full four quarters, and that issue once again reared its ugly head in on Thursday Night Football. After their fifth loss of the season, the Broncos will have 10 days to prepare for a Week 8 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, a team that beat the Chiefs in Week 5.
