ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Through each bobble and stumble this season, the Denver Broncos often leaned on the calendar for support.
Cornerback Pat Surtain II said last month that there was "plenty of ball left," and wide receiver Courtland Sutton added that "we have time." But no more.
Week 18 has arrived for the Broncos, who face a simple proposition. Win or tie Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs at Empower Field at Mile High (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS), and Denver would earn the AFC's final playoff spot as the No.
