The Denver Broncos season is far from over. They're currently on a hard-earned bye, waiting to find out which team they'll host on January 17th in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs.
It could be Kansas City. Or it could be Pittsburgh or even Houston, depending on how this weekend's games shake out.
In trying to get a bead on what we can expect from Gary Kubiak's squad in the playoffs, perhaps we can glean much by looking back on their 12-4 regular season.
The Broncos faced a mountain of adversity, including the loss of Pro Bowl left tackle Ryan Clady in OTAs, Ty Sambrailo, their second round pick, and Peyton Manning for a huge chunk of the season.
