The Denver Broncos are in the driver's seat for the final AFC wild-card spot heading into Week 18 of the 2024 NFL season. To wrap up that final spot, they'll have to get a win over the Kansas City Chiefs, who've already locked up the No. 1 seed and will be resting key starters, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
While that sounds appetizing to Denver, that's probably not the case for the Miami Dolphins, who need a win over the New York Jets — coupled with a Denver loss to Kansas City — to claim the AFC's final wild-card spot.
