The Denver Broncos won another franchise-altering game, and, with the Los Angeles Chargers also losing in Week 11, Denver gained another game of breathing room on them and the Chiefs. Now at 9-2, the Broncos are looking down at the 7-4 Chargers and the 5-5 Chiefs, who just aren't very good teams right now.
Denver now embarks on a much-needed bye in Week 12 to get healthy and get ready for the final six games of the season. You'd have to think that even going 3-3 in the final six games could be enough to win the AFC West title in 2015.
The Broncos aren't focused on that now, though. This team is surely excited to be at the bye and get away for a little bit. Well, after the bye, the Broncos final stretch really doesn't appear to be all that tough if we're being honest.
The Denver Broncos remaining schedule really isn't anything overwhelming
Here is the remaining schedule for the Denver Broncos:
Week 13 @ Washington Commanders
Week 14 @ Las Vegas Raiders
Week 15 vs. Green Bay Packers
Week 16 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 17 @ Kansas City Chiefs
Week 18 vs. Los Angeles Chargers
The Washington Commanders are 3-8 and have been injured quite a lot this year. As we know, the Raiders are simply not a good team and are 2-7 approaching Monday Night Football. The Broncos host the Green Bay Packers and Jacksonville Jaguars at home after that, and both teams are 'good, not great.'
The Packers and Jags can do multiple things well as a whole, but neither team is at the tier of the Broncos, so Denver should be able to win both of those games at home. Their toughest remaining games honestly appear to be in Week 17 and Week 18. Ideally, Denver is closing in on the AFC West title at that point, but if not, the Broncos would be able to win one of those games if needed.
The Chargers lost in Week 11 and are just falling apart. The depth on that roster is bad, and the offensive line is a massive issue. No matter how you slice it, the Denver Broncos will have a chance to win their remaining six games in 2025. Each team is beatable, and you'd have to think that the Broncos can at least to 4-2 down this stretch.
The Broncos are on the cusp of an AFC West title and are creeping closer with each passing win.
