The Broncos ended a home losing streak against Oakland with a convincing win. What did that do to their rankings?

Peyton Manning versus Tom Brady for at least one more time. Awesome.

FOX SPORTS - 13 (LAST WEEK: 17)

Welcome back Peyton Manning. And just in time too, as the Broncos travel to Foxboro. Looking forward to another classic Manning/Brady showdown.

YAHOO SPORTS - 8 - (LAST WEEK: 8)

Peyton Manning threw the football 38 times this week, which doesn't seem like a huge number until you consider that the Broncos won 37-6 and probably didn't need to throw the ball more than 15 times. I know it's not John Fox's style, but I think the sooner the Broncos embrace a no-huddle, pass-first wing-it-around offense, the better off they'll be. You've got Peyton Manning. Turn him loose. You don't buy a Maserati and then calmly drive the speed limit on your way to work every day.

If torching the Raiders means Peyton Manning is Peyton Freaking Manning, then Ryan Tannehill is Dan Freaking Marino.

CBS SPORTS - 16 (LAST WEEK 19)

So much for all that talk of Peyton Manning being done. This week it's Manning vs Tom Brady. Don't you love it?

BLEACHER REPORT - 14

Welcome back, Peyton Manning. We know the Raiders' pass defense is beyond terrible, but 30/38 for 338 yards and three scores? There's a handful of starting NFL quarterbacks that couldn't accomplish that line against thin air. A Mastery performance of 503 total yards from Manning's offense.

There you have it. Frankly, I think that was a convincing win and put as in the 10-12 area. We have lost to good teams and had a huge blowout win last week. This week is big for the Broncos because to be the best, you have to beat the best. I expect the Broncos to win this week and will be surprised if they do not.
