Broncos Briefs: Chargers’ loss to Kansas City mucks up AFC wild-card race even more

Add the Los Angeles Chargers to the traffic jam that is the AFC wild-card playoff race.

The Chargers’ overtime loss to Kansas City on Thursday night dropped them to 8-6, one of seven teams in the conference with six losses.

Buckle up, folks, this has the potential to get really wild … if it isn’t already.

The Nos. 5-13 in the conference are the Chargers, followed by the 7-6 teams (Indianapolis, Buffalo, Cleveland, Bengals and Broncos), 6-6-1 Pittsburgh and 6-7 Las Vegas and Miami. Only three will qualify for the postseason.

The Chargers’ loss helped the Broncos, and Saturday night’s New England-Indianapolis game also has ramifications.
