The last two games for the Broncos were never going to be easy and the odds were always that they would lose both.
The Broncos have a pretty significant test this week in the Atlanta Falcons. They have been playing good football all season long and represent a huge obstacle now to the Broncos having a serious shot at the playoffs.
The current playoff picture has the Broncos currently in as a wild-card, but their chances take a huge shot if they lose this week to the Falcons.
If they win, they have a really serious shot at seeing postseason action for the first time in what feels like ages.
