Don’t look now, but the Denver Broncos are in the playoff discussion.
Wait, what?
How serious you take that depends on how positive you want to approach the current state of the franchise and the AFC. When it comes to the final wildcard spot, at 4-6 the Broncos are, technically, one game back. As it stands, the Baltimore Ravens (5-5) hold that spot so it’s really a two-game lead given the head-to-head. When you look closer, Denver is behind four other teams that are 5-5.
If the Broncos take care of their end, the outlook for the playoffs improves.
