Sports Seriously
The Denver Broncos control their destiny as they look to lock up the AFC’s top seed during the final week of the NFL season.
The Broncos (13-3) host the Los Angeles Chargers (11-5) on Sunday, Jan. 4 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. With a win, Denver locks up the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. The Broncos could still end up there with a loss or tie if it gets some help from the Tennessee Titans and Miami Dolphins against the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots, respectively.
A win would also give the Broncos their best regular season record since 1998, Denver locked up the AFC West — and a guaranteed top three seed — with a 20-13 win at Kansas City on Dec. 25 and the Chargers’ 20-16 loss to Houston on Dec. 27.
The Chargers have also locked up a playoff spot and will end up seeded between No. 5 and No. 7.
