7. Denver Broncos

Being able to battle back with a no-quit attitude and win a games like the Broncos have this season is exactly why this team is scary. They may be down, but they are never out. Bo Nix is incredibly dynamic, and although they have struggled at times defensively, overall, they still are one of the top units in football. They lead the league in sacks, and that seems to be a factor for them every week.

8. Buffalo Bills

The Bills limped into their bye week with two straight losses in games they were expected to win. The defense couldn’t stop the run, and therefore couldn’t get off the field, which meant MVP Josh Allen was stuck on the sidelines. They fixed that issue in Week 8 against one of the best running teams in the league, and of course, having Josh Allen gives them a chance to win any game, which is why, regardless of them being in second place in their division, they are ranked ahead of the team that leads the division. What do you think? Do the Bills have to toughen up on offense?

9. Green Bay Packers

The Packers are a team that hasn’t played its best football since the first couple of weeks of the season, yet they are finding ways to win games that they have no business winning. Micah Parsons has finally started showing just how dangerous he can make this defense when he is healthy.
