The Denver Broncos narrowly missed the Super Bowl last season and are returning with a strong roster for 2026. Despite this, ESPN’s Football Power Index ranks them 15th overall and 8th in the AFC, citing concerns about defensive regression and injury risks. The projected record is 9-8, with only a 54% chance of making the playoffs. Many believe the Broncos are being underrated, and the team could use this as motivation to prove critics wrong.
