ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos are currently clinging to wafer-thin mathematics about their playoff chances after yet another loss without enough touchdowns.
According to ESPN's Football Power Index, the Broncos (7-7) have an 7.8% chance of making the postseason after Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. They have three games remaining, all AFC West games, two of those on the road.
"We're not out," Broncos coach Vic Fangio said. "We're just going to have to strap it up ... and get ready for the next game."
All true, the numbers do say the Broncos are not quite eliminated from their sixth consecutive postseason, but the real math of this season is the same math that has derailed the previous five.
