5. Denver Broncos (LW: 2)
It’s a bad time of the year to raise question marks, but the once dominant Denver Broncos have looked a lot more vulnerable in recent weeks. Despite winning four straight games entering their Week 16 Monday Night Football matchup in Cincinnati, the team’s scoring had decreased in each of these victories. Finally, they were caught. With the loss, Denver has conceded home field advantage throughout the playoffs to New England, and has its first-round bye in jeopardy as well. The Broncos are certainty capable of overcoming their hiccup in Cincinnati, but it is naive to ignore how their wins have been less convincing of late.
