A Broncos' win in Week 9 would all but guarantee a third-straight playoff berth
The Denver Broncos were the last team in the AFC to clinch a playoff spot back in the 2024 NFL Season. They defeated the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Week 18. The Chiefs were resting many of their starters, so the Broncos essentially beat up on backups.
And in the 2025 NFL Season, the Broncos became the first team in the AFC to clinch a playoff spot, and they also earned the No. 1 seed in the process. Here in 2026, the Broncos are 6-2 for the second season in a row and have won four-straight games and six of seven.
While we're still only at the halfway point of the season, the Broncos are all but guaranteed to clinch a playoff spot in Week 9 with a win.
