The Denver Broncos could have moved into first place in the AFC West if they upset the Kansas City Chiefs on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 13. Instead, following a disappointing loss on the road, Denver fell to last place in the division.
Here’s a look at the current AFC West standings going into Week 14.
| Team | Record | Div. | Conf. |
| Kansas City Chiefs | 8-4 | 2-1 | 3-4 |
| Los Angeles Chargers | 7-5 | 2-1 | 5-3 |
| Las Vegas Raiders | 6-6 | 1-2 | 4-3 |
| Denver Broncos | 6-6 | 1-2 | 3-5 |
To keep pace in the AFC’s Wild Card race, the Broncos now have a must-win upcoming home game against the Detroit Lions, who won a game for the first time this season on Sunday.
After that, Denver will have another game with crucial Wild Card implications against the Cincinnati Bengals (7-5). That game will also be played at home.
The Broncos will then close out the season with road games against the Raiders and Chargers followed by a home game against the Chiefs. Denver still has a chance to reach the playoffs, but there’s a lot of work to be done.
