Denver Broncos Could Be Eliminated From Playoffs on Sunday
By Tylor Walden
The Denver Broncos’ playoff hopes are on life support. A loss along with wins from other teams could spell the end of their slim dreams of the playoffs.
At 3-8, the Denver Broncos hopes for a spot to play in the NFL Playoff Tournament is very much on life support. Sadly enough, the chances of getting in is looking mighty bleak. There is a good chance that by the end of Week 13, the Broncos could be eliminated.
An NFL Reddit user called NFLPlayoffScenarios. The account displays all of the Week 13 playoff scenarios and eliminations. Denver is on the side of elimination. In order for them to be erased all together, quite a few things need to happen. And it starts with the division.
There are a lot of scenarios to point out for the division. But the one thing that is that Denver cannot afford to lose to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. That alone will be the first piece to the shattering puzzle.
That loss will start a domino chain that involves the Raiders, Chargers, and/or Chiefs to eliminate them from the AFC West division.
Once that is in place, the Broncos would have to hope at least three other teams lose to keep the Wild Card hopes alive. If you want to look at the various scenarios, you can click here.

The important part for the Denver Broncos to focus on is beating the Dolphins. Once that happens, they can continue to keep the playoffs on life support. If there is any sort of hope that a playoff birth is possible, then like on Christmas, you must believe.
It seems like tough times here in Broncos Country. But just one win can be the start of something. Let us hope that this Sunday is the beginning of some Mile High Magic.
