After the first full week of December action, the Broncos ended the week with a commanding lead in the AFC West. Following their Week 14 win over the Raiders in Las Vegas, the Broncos are on the cusp of wrapping up an AFC West title. There have been different trials and tribulations for this team over the course of the season, but they have been arguably the steadiest team in the league all year.
Right behind Denver in the division, no contender has faced more adversity this year than the Los Angeles Chargers. Several key starters in franchise pieces have missed considerable time this year, including both of their starting tackles being out all year.
