Week 16 begins with an AFC West rivalry as the Denver Broncos (9-5) travel to California to take on the Los Angeles Chargers (8-6) on “Thursday Night Football.”
Entering this game, the Broncos currently sit in the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoff standings, while the Chargers are comfortably in the No. 7 seed, and neither team has a chance to win the division, as the Chiefs have a four-game lead with only three games remaining. However, there is such a divide between the playoff contenders and the rest of the AFC, that regardless of the outcome of this game, both teams will still be slotted into playoff spots after the conclusion of this week’s games.
