14. Denver Broncos

There were some struggles from Case Keenum in his first regular season game with the Denver Broncos when seeing how he finished the contest against the Seattle Seahawks with three interceptions, but at least the team held on for the win. For years, the Broncos have been searching for a reliable quarterback after learning the hard way that players like Trevor Siemian and Brock Osweiler are far from the answer.

Plus, it was unfair for the defense to take on the extra workload of having to play well enough each week without the offense doing their part, but hopefully all that is about to change with Keenum now part of the picture. In fact, the argument can be made that Denver never would have won this close of a game last season, showing just how much of a difference Keenum makes being under center.

Speaking of the defense, how about that performance by Von Miller? The Broncos linebacker has always been considered one of the top defenders in the league, and seeing him begin a new season with three sacks on Russell Wilson along with Denver winning the game was the perfect start to 2018.
