ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos will clinch a playoff spot with one week remaining in the regular season if they defeat the Cincinnati Bengals on the road Saturday. The victory, if it happens, would come nine years to the day after the Broncos clinched their last postseason appearance … with a win against the Bengals.

The Denver Broncos are in good shape to contend for one of the two remaining playoff spots in the AFC. The Bengals are on the bubble and in danger of missing out.

“Ain’t nobody trying to watch Bo Nix, a rookie quarterback, play over Joe Burrow,” Saturday said, according to Zack Kelberman. Everybody’s tuning in [for] Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins. … If they get in the playoffs, it’s a much better story.”
