What's Happening?
The Denver Broncos, currently leading the AFC West with a 12-3 record, are poised to clinch the division title and potentially secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Despite a recent loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Broncos remain at the top of their division. Their upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs, who hold a 6-9 record, is crucial. A victory over the Chiefs on Christmas Day, combined with a loss or tie by the Los Angeles Chargers against the Houston Texans, would secure the division title for the Broncos. Additionally, if the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills, and Jacksonville Jaguars also lose their respective games, the Broncos could clinch the top seed in the AFC.
