Denver’s fourth-quarter machine is real, plus 60 in nine games, fifth best this century, with Sean Payton’s late-game adjustments nearby.

Even with the best record in football, the Broncos have yet to play a full 60 minutes in any game this season. Denver is one of the most inconsistent teams, especially on offense. However, the Broncos own the best fourth quarter point differential by a landslide (plus-60, next closest teams are plus-37).

The Broncos have been bouncing around the field in the weekly power rankings, but it seemed like beating the hot Dallas Cowboys by three scores would lead to a big jump. While Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News did give the Broncos a bit of a push, it was only two spots up from last week.
