The Fine Fifteen: Broncos claim top spot after Week 1

The MMQB's Peter King takes a look at the Broncos' defensive play against the Baltimore Ravens from Week 1.

So … a different format this year. After many of you over the years suggested we wait until the last game (or games, in the case of the opening weekend) of the weekend be played before ranking the best teams, we at The MMQB agreed. This season we’re breaking out the Fine Fifteen section from the “Monday Morning Quarterback” column and running it on Tuesdays. Send us your thoughts about it to talkback@themmqb.com.

For Week One: I thought by process of elimination that I’d have the Super Bowl champion Patriots at number one, because there truly wasn’t a premier team through the seven early games on Sunday.
