NFL Power Rankings, Week 13: Titans rise, Raiders and Packers fall
28. Denver Broncos (3-8)
Recap: The Denver Broncos’ offense was non-existent against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Brandon Allen threw for just 82 yards and the Broncos finished with 142 total yards in the losing effort. The loss was Denver’s fourth in its last five games.
Outlook: The Broncos had a chance to climb out of the cellar in the AFC West with a win, but failed to get it done against the Bills. Denver will have another chance to move into third place in Week 13 with a home matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers waiting.
27. Detroit Lions (3-7-1)
Recap: Just when the Detroit Lions thought things couldn’t get any worse after losing three straight games and their starting quarterback, they did. The Lions didn’t just lose to the Washington Redskins in Week 12, they blew a 16-13 fourth quarter lead to seal their fate.
Outlook: The Lions’ season was over the second they lost Matthew Stafford and had to put Jeff Driskel in. Four straight losses was just the final nail in the coffin. The Lions will host the Chicago Bears in Week 13.
