AFC Playoff Picture: Broncos now need a lot of help to get in

It sure seems like the Denver Broncos playoff chances were flushed down the toilet with their ugly loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, but its not quite mathematically over just yet.

Last week, I noted that the Broncos would need the AFC North to stumble. And stumble they did. The Baltimore Ravens lost on the road in overtime to the Kansas City Chiefs, while the Pittsburgh Steelers choked on the road to the hapless Oakland Raiders. Those two games have left the AFC very wide open.
