    Updated Broncos scenarios after this Steelers Chargers game.

    Broncos win out.

    2 of the following 4 happen:

    Miami loses once

    Ravens lose twice

    Chargers lose twice (not counting against us)

    Steelers lose twice

    I think our best path in is Pitt losing to the Saints and Pats. It also helps us that the Chargers and Ravens play each other. Whomever loses just has to lose one other game. We definitely have a few paths in, just gotta win out, which is admittedly still a tall task. I don't see how we beat LA without CHJ, but you never know.

    That's basically the easiest way. The Chargers will likely lose to the Chiefs and then BAM! win out and we're in!

    The chargers have to lose twice before our game.

    This is now the long shot option. Chargers host the Bengals next week so that’s a win. They would have to lose to both the Chiefs and Ravens after that, then lose to us. While possible, I just don’t like those odds.

    Agreed. Ravens still have KC and LAC and Steelers have NE and NO, so one of those hitting seems more likely. Might wind up being best for us for SD to have things locked up heading into week 17. My worry now is that they might still be in play for the division though.

    According to 538, our playoff odds are now 21%, up from 11% last week. The key games for us this coming week are:

    Baltimore @ KC
    Pittsburgh @ Oakland
    LAC vs Cincy

    Looks like KC over Baltimore is the only help we have a real shot at getting, but the next week's games really have the best chance of helping us:

    Pitt vs NE
    LAC @ KC
    Baltimore vs TB

    If we can hold serve these next 2 weeks we'll hopefully be in good shape heading into the last two.

    I think the best case for us would be the Chargers and Chiefs winning this week, the Chiefs beating the Chargers in KC the next week and the Chargers beating the Ravens in week 16. That way, Chiefs have the division locked up, Chargers are locked into the five seed and the Ravens have seven losses. Would be an ideal week 17 scenario

    It might wind up working out better for us if VonDoom's see plays out but yeah, that was embarrassing.

    Yeah, this is probably the most likely path in now. KC kinda concerns me now though. Losing Hunt hurts that offense possibly to the level the chargers or Ravens could steal one from them. If Baltimore beats KC this week we're probably screwed. Unless Pitt keeps collapsing and loses that division.

    San Diego might very well be playing for the division in the last game. However I don’t think KC misses a beat. The last game Hunt played in he only had 14 carries. That offense goes through Mahomes. Their major concern is their porous D.
