The Denver Broncos are not in a literal must-win mode right now, but they are in a bit of a pickle with five games remaining.
After dropping their first division game of the season to the San Diego Chargers, the Broncos quickly got back on the board two weeks later and beat San Diego in Denver. Since then, the Broncos have lost two consecutive games within the division — on the road in Oakland, and at home against Kansas City.
There’s no requirement for winning every division game unless you are as tightly contested as the three teams atop the AFC West currently are.
