The Denver Broncos unfortunately endured the worst-case scenario in Week 16, as they lost but all of the Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, and Jacksonville Jaguars won, obviously. The Los Angeles Chargers also beat the Dallas Cowboys. Since the Broncos got off to such a great start, they have built up a bit of a cushion.
And, believe it or not, they were able to afford a loss, and they did get bullied for 60 minutes by the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the playoff-clinching scenarios are still on their side heading into Week 17, which is awesome news.
