Playoffs are within reach for the Broncos entering final stretch of season

The AFC playoff race is shaping up to be an extremely tight finish.

With four games remaining, there are six teams with a 7-6 record and three teams with an 8-5 record. Only one team (the 3-10 New England Patriots) has been eliminated from playoff contention in the AFC.

The Denver Broncos (7-6) are currently the No. 9 seed in the conference and the top seven teams will make the playoffs. The Broncos are two spots out of a Wild Card position, but they have their eyes on the Kansas City Chiefs (8-5) in their division.
