The Denver Broncos got themselves in another emotional, one-score game here in Week 13, as they needed overtime to displace the Washington Commanders, who are now 3-9 on the season. Denver improved to 10-2 with the win, and it was a huge one.
The New England Patriots were 10-2 and are playing the New York Giants on Monday Night Football to close out Week 13, so the Pats were first in the AFC until the Broncos sealed the deal against Washington.
With the no. 1 playoff seed getting that bye and homefield advantage, it is so crucial for any team with Super Bowl aspirations to lock up that top seed, and it feels like one of Denver or New England will get that seed.
