The Broncos now control their own destiny.
With a 24-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, the Denver Broncos improve to 11-2 on the year, won their 10th straight game, and are once again the number one seed in the AFC. While the Broncos did not clinch a postseason spot this week, they did gain a significant tiebreaker over the Patriots. This victory gives the Broncos a two-way tiebreaker with the New England Patriots for playoff seeding based on a better record against common opponents.
The Patriots are enjoying their late-season bye week this week and will now fall to the 2 seed in the AFC with an 11-2 record. The number one seed in the AFC will likely be decided by these two 11-2 old rivals who fought for control of the AFC back during the Peyton Manning and Tom Brady days.
