After a dominating win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Broncos sit at 9-2 and are one of the premier teams in the NFL. This comes as a surprise to many, except for maybe Sean Payton, but the Broncos are embracing their new reality. At 9-2, the Denver Broncos are entering territory they haven't seen since the days of Peyton Manning.
With this new reality comes a fun fact: the Broncos need to pay attention to how the rest of the AFC is faring, especially teams at the top of the conference. Denver is currently the top seed in the AFC, but is on the bye in Week 12.
