NFL legend Shannon Sharpe faces backlash from fans after making harsh critique of Denver Broncos starter on Sunday.

The NFL is keeping Broncos vs Commanders on Sunday Night Football in Week 13, per The Athletic. Here’s why it wasn’t flexed.

With Week 11 coming to a close with a less-than-stellar Monday Night Football matchup, it's the perfect time to resurface the weekly NFL Power Rankings. A lot has changed since the last time the rankings were run leaving Week 7.

The Commanders (3-8) are all struggling to stay in the NFC's playoff hunt, but there's at least a chance that quarterback Jayden Daniels might be able to return from an elbow injury in time for SNF. And even if Daniels does not return in time for that game, Denver will be 9-2, defending the longest active winning streak in the NFL (eight).

Mahomes and Kansas City managed to score 13 points in the second half, but it wasn’t good enough because the Broncos’ offense woke up, too. In the end, Kansas City’s defense couldn’t get one last stop, and the much-criticized Nix outplayed his counterpart when it mattered most.

When a team excels in all three phases of the game, it gives them a chance to beat quality opponents. The Broncos getting it done in all three phases says a lot, particularly against the defending AFC champion Chiefs, who've also won the division for the past nine years.
