The Broncos’ victory over the Bengals on Monday night clinched a playoff spot for Denver, and it also means the Broncos are in the driver’s seat for a first-round bye in the playoffs.
But they also could surrender the AFC West title to the Chiefs.
The Broncos improved to 11-4 with the 20-17 overtime triumph over Cincinnati and hold a one-game lead over the Chiefs (10-5).
Sunday, the Broncos play host to the Chargers and the Chiefs are at home against the Raiders.
The Broncos clinch at least the No. 2 seed, and a first-round bye in the playoffs, with a victory.
