With a win on Sunday, the Denver Broncos can end their eight-season drought of not making the AFC playoffs. The two previous opportunities for Denver (9-7) didn’t go as planned, but that matters not with a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Broncos have three possible routes to clinch a spot in the NFL playoffs in Week 18. The first and simplest path is to beat the Kansas City Chiefs at home. With the Chiefs expected to rest their key starters, getting a win should be a feasible task for Denver.

The Denver Broncos have twice had an opportunity to end their eight-year playoff drought. And twice they’ve come away losers. Now, with just one week left in the regular season, they will get one more shot to punch their ticket to the postseason with the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town.
