The Denver Broncos<\/a> have lost two games in a row on walk-off field goals by their opponents and those losses have taken them from a top 10 team in the power rankings to one barely in the top 20.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Broncos, considered by many to be a dark horse Super Bowl contender just before this season kicked off, are not living up to the hype… not even close. Instead, the team looked quite sloppy in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans<\/a> and blew a chance at victory against both the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> and Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Denver’s defense, both the Colts and Chargers are undefeated thus far, but that shouldn’t make anyone feel better about their 1-2 start, especially since both teams were beatable. In his latest power rankings release, Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News<\/a> dropped the Broncos all the way down to No. 19.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The\u00a0Broncos\u00a0are working through some kinks with Bo Nix sophomore slumping, going up and down with his receivers. The defense has a lot of unexpected holes after dominating at times last season. Denver doesn’t look like a team built to return to the playoffs at all”, wrote Iyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Broncos began the season at No. 11 and stayed in that spot after beating the Titans. But back-to-back defeats have dropped them eight spots while Broncos Country wonders if this season is about to get away from the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Broncos have a chance to get healthy in Week 4 against a bad Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> team and they need to take advantage of that and get back in the win column to get to 2-2.\u00a0<\/p>\n
