NFL Power Rankings: Panthers, Patriots and Bengals at the top entering Week 14

<p>The Denver Broncos continue to roll without Peyton Manning under center, and dare we say they look even more formidable than before with Brock Osweiler under center. Osweiler isn’t doing anything other worldly, which is a teastament to the team, completing just 16 of 26 passes for 166 yards a touchdown and an interception.</p> <p>The Broncos went with a running back by committee approach and rushed for 134 yards as a team. A interception return from Broncos’ Danny Trevathan at the end of the first-quarter might have been the nail in the coffin.</p> <p>The 17-3 score at the half held for the rest of the game and the Broncos improved to 10-2 to stay atop the division and in contention at the top of the AFC with the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots for a first-round bye.</p> <p>Next week the Denver Broncos welcome the Oakland Raiders in what could be described as a must-win. Following that game the Broncos go on the road to play the Pittburgh Steelers and the host Cincinnati Bengals in Weeks 15 and 16, in two games that could be tough tests. The Broncos still have a cushy three-game lead over the Chiefs in the divsion though.</p>. (10-2). Previous: . denver broncos. 5. team. 45
