Denver Broncos playoff picture: What Week 15 vs. Packers means for AFC standings
Week 15 is nearing its conclusion and we had some wild games and major developements in the AFC postseason picture. With a win over the Packers, the Denver Broncos became the first team in the AFC to clinch a postseason berth as they improve to an impressive 12-2 record.
Two NFL teams have clinched spots in the playoffs on Sunday as the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams picked up crucial victories in Week 15.
But the Broncos have not won 11 in a row by accident. They’ve done it as a team, prevailing in games when their offense was terrible (13-11 over the Jets, 10-7 over the Raiders) and when their defense struggled (22-19 over the Chiefs, 27-26 over the Commanders and Sunday against the Packers).
In the summer of 2024, the Denver Broncos held joint practice sessions with the Green Bay Packers. Entering Week 15's regular-season matchup with the Packers, the Broncos will be looking for any edge they can get, and the tape from last year's practices against them could offer a key.
