Thirteen games into the season, the Denver Broncos (8-5) have a -1.1 Football Power Index (FPI) rating from ESPN, which ranks 24th in the NFL.
The Indianapolis Colts 6-7), who will face the Broncos in Week 15, are ranked 25th with a -2.6 FPI rating.
FPI is “a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team’s performance going forward for the rest of the season,” according to ESPN.com. “FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule.”
So with that background in mind, here’s a look at how the league’s 32 teams stack up based on FPI going into Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season.
