The Denver Broncos playoff hopes might have taken a huge hit following their heartbreaking 13-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. What is next for the Broncos?

10. 45. 13. 35. Final

Do not be fooled by the title of this piece. There is still a chance that the Denver Broncos can make the postseason. It just is not going to be an easy task.

A.J. Derby fumbled the ball as the Denver Broncos were driving to at least tie the game. It was like having our hearts ripped out after being frustrated the entire game.

The Titans rushing attack completely dominated the Broncos for the first 20 minutes of the game. When the defense was able to get something going in the run defense, it appears it was too little too late.

Perhaps the biggest miscue in the second half was Bennie Fowler dropping a pass that would have gotten him in the end zone for the go ahead score.

The Broncos are going to have to really focus in following this 13-10 loss. The team has the top three teams in the AFC in the final three weeks.

Luckily, the Broncos still hold the final AFC Playoffs, for now.

The Broncos own the tiebreakers with the other teams. However, if the Baltimore Ravens upset the New England Patriots in Boston tomorrow night, then the Broncos get bumped out.

Stranger things have happened though. The good news is that two of the final three games are at home.Hopefully the home crowd can help out in those games.

Perhaps the bright spot of this game was Trevor Siemian’s performance. He went 35 of 51 for 334 yards and one touchdown.

I stand by with what I said that Trevor Siemian gives the Denver Broncos the best chance to win.

Win, lose, or tie. Denver Broncos fan until I die. On to New England.
