26. team. 45. . L, 35-9 at Dolphins. Previous: . Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos’ free fall in our NFL power rankings took another step after falling 35-9 in an ugly loss to the Miami Dolphins.

It’s so hard to watch this team right now, especially after the Broncos defense seemed good enough to carry the team through some questionable quarterbacking situations. But that hasn’t been the case, and quarterback Trevor Siemian’s struggles continued in a major way in Week 13.

Siemian managed to throw for 200 yards but with three interceptions and a lowly passer rating of 30.5.

It’s safe to say this is a major question mark for general manager John Elway.

Worse yet, the once-potent Denver defense isn’t living up to expectations either, giving up 16 first-half points to a Dolphins team that has had trouble scoring all year long.

2017 is a season the Broncos are better off forgetting.
