Broncos back into playoffs
The Denver Broncos came up short in their season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs, but they are playoff bound thanks to choking by other teams around the league.
The Oakland Raiders squandered their chance to win the AFC West division by falling to the San Diego Chargers, giving the Broncos the title.
Amazingly, Denver’s .500 record is good enough to host a first-round playoff game against the 12-4 Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Broncos get to face a team that hasn’t been as stiff against the run as usual this year and is pretty beat up. It also helps that it’s a short week and they have to travel across the country.
Denver will still be the decided underdog because of how much Tim Tebow has struggled in recent weeks, but they have a chance to pull off the upset.
