The Denver Broncos had their first crack at earning a playoff bid and failed miserably.
Now comes the all-important redo, and the challenge doesn’t become any easier. This time it’s on the road against a dangerous Joe Burrow and Cincinnati Bengals squad that has a chance, albeit minuscule, to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Broncos (9-6) control their spot in the AFC Playoffs. Win on Saturday, and they’re in.
If Denver loses to the Bengals (7-8) this week, oh boy.
Burrow and Cincinnati's offense will be a serious challenge for a Broncos defense that just got torched by Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers.
