3. Denver Broncos (Last week: 1)
It’s only one loss, but I was impressed with Peyton Manning’s late-game moxie and his team’s ability to rally, especially after the late interception. The Broncos needed to prove the lopsided loss last February was a fluke, and they did.
What to know: Peyton Manning’s two touchdown passes against Seattle put him at 100 as a member of the Broncos and he sits at 499 in his career. Brett Favre is the only NFL player with 500+ career touchdown passes.
