The Final Week of the Regular Season: Who to Cheer for Ahead of the Postseason
As the Denver Broncos prepare to host the Kansas City Chiefs in their home finale, the stakes are high, and the path to the postseason is clear. With only one week remaining in the regular season, the Broncos’ fate is largely in their own hands, but there are a few other games that could impact their chances of making the playoffs.
For the Broncos, the equation is simple: win or tie against the Chiefs, and they’re in. However, if they stumble against Kansas City, they’ll need a pair of other results to go their way in order to secure a postseason berth.
One of the key games to watch is the Cincinnati Bengals’ matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the Bengals lose or tie, they’ll be eliminated from playoff contention, which could have a ripple effect on the Broncos’ chances. If the Bengals fall to the Steelers, the Broncos’ game against the Chiefs will take on even greater significance.
Another game to keep an eye on is the Miami Dolphins’ matchup against an unspecified opponent. If the Dolphins were to lose, and the Bengals also lose on Saturday, the Broncos would be postseason bound regardless of the outcome in Denver.
In essence, the Broncos’ fate is largely in their own hands, but there are a few other games that could impact their chances of making the playoffs. By keeping an eye on these games, Broncos fans can get a sense of what’s at stake and who to cheer for ahead of the postseason.
It’s worth noting that the Broncos’ last two losses have not diminished their chances of making the playoffs. A win over the Chiefs would still secure a postseason berth, and even if they slip up, there’s still a path to the playoffs. However, a win over Kansas City would remove all doubt and clinch a trip to Buffalo.
As the Broncos prepare to face the Chiefs, they’ll be looking to bounce back from their recent losses and secure a postseason berth. With the stakes high and the path to the playoffs clear, this game is shaping up to be a thrilling conclusion to the regular season.
