To follow this up, I am also curious how the Bronco's handle the back half if their season. They still have the Chiefs twice, Ravens, Bengals, and Chargers, all of which I think can beat Denver. That puts them at 9-8, just out of the playoffs, much like Saints last year.
Except it is a Payton coached team. They’ll go into Kansas City and win then turn around and lose to the Browns. Then in week 18 the Chiefs will be resting the starters and win only for the Broncos to finish 9-8 and miss the playoffs.
