I would not say the Broncos are the team to beat right now they are definitely contenders not pretenders, the AFC still has the Colts, Steelers, Patriots, Bengals (which are as big of a surprise as the Broncos),Ravens, Chargers. Those are just a few teams that will be contending in the AFC. The next 3 games are gonna be a test to see if they can contend with the class of the AFC they have the Chargers, Ravens, and the Steelers. It is way to early to call the Broncos a frontrunner to represent the AFC in the Superbowl, lets see if they can be at the Chargers for the AFC west first.
