Broncos' Rooting Guide for NFL Playoff Bracket Implications of Week 18

The Denver Broncos have two paths to get into the postseason in Week 18.

Denver can win its matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday afternoon to avoid receiving any help.

The Broncos are expected to win against Kansas City's backups, so no outside help is expected to be needed.

However, Denver could receive help from the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers to eliminate the final two wild-card chasers

Sean Payton's team also qualifies for the postseason if both the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals lose.

If Denver makes the playoffs, it can't move up in seeding because of tiebreaker disadvantages against the Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers.
