By the numbers: Best in the West
By Rich Kurtzman Vice President of Football Operations John Elway said on Elway Access Tuesday that this week’s game against the Oakland Raiders is “huge” for his Denver Broncos.
The Denver Broncos have become one of the nation’s best and most popular football franchises. They were founded in 1960 as a member of the American Football League (AFL). They joined the NFL when the AFL and NFL merged in 1970. Since then, they have become a very successful franchise with 6 AFC conference championships and 2 Super Bowl victories. The Broncos franchise and fans have a strong history. With new quarterback Peyton Manning leading the Broncos offense, and Von Miller and Champ Bailey leading the Broncos defense, the Broncos look to have a strong future as well.

The Philadelphia Eagles are heading for a primetime showcase with the New York Giants on Sept. 30. Eagles fans like myself know that a big spotlight will be on us, as Philadelphia can make a huge statement with a big win or humiliate itself with a costly loss. Yet no matter what, the Birds and Giants will be under a gigantic microscope for reasons other than the final score.

The NFL has a big problem with its replacement refs. Or does it? CBS4’s Vic Lombardi took to the streets of Downtown Denver to get the opinions of NFL fans.

What If Replacement Refs Ran The World?
If you’d like something to get angry about besides the refs, how about the NFL’s policy of forcing you to watch your local game, regardless of the timing?

NFP Week 4 Power Rankings (National Football Post)
The absurdly premature playoff picture presents one man’s projection for the NFL playoffs, at each given week in the season — even if that week is unreasonably early. Top AFC seeds : Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens Other AFC division champs : Denver Broncos, New England Patriots AFC Wild Cards : Pittsburgh Steelers, San Diego Chargers Top NFC seeds : Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers Other NFC division champs : Green Bay, New York Giants Wild Cards : Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles • Last week , I gave a Wild Card spot to the Eagles ahead of the Cardinals. I may have been a bit off there. My bad, everybody. • As for this week, you might ask how I have the Cardinals first in the power rankings but clinging only to a Wild Card spot here, and by way of explanation, I offer you Kevin Kolb. I’m not buying Kevin Kolb. If that means I’m disrespecting the Cardinals, then I guess I’m disrespecting the Cardinals. They’ve absolutely earned their 3-0 mark and they’ve got a collection of wins superior to that of anyone else. Does that mean I trust Kevin Kolb? Does that mean the wheels will not come off at some point over a 16-game season? No. No, it does not. • Not too much else changes in the NFC. I thought about moving the Giants ahead of the 49ers for a first round bye, but I’m giving the Niners a one-week pass. They’ve earned that. Through the course of a season, a team will have a handful of games that are out of character for them. I believe the 49ers just had one.
