The Denver Broncos have secured a playoff spot for the second consecutive year, finishing this season with a 14-3 record and claiming the No. 1 seed in the AFC. With a first-round bye, the team will benefit from additional recovery time, particularly for key defensive players like Dre Greenlaw and John Franklin-Myers. The Broncos’ Divisional Round opponent will be determined after the Wild Card Round, with potential matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans, or Buffalo Bills. Historically, the Broncos have a mixed postseason record against these teams, but this marks their ninth time as the top seed in the AFC playoffs.
