After the Houston Texans defeated the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday, the Denver Broncos clinched their first AFC West title since 2015.
Denver can now secure the No. 1 playoff seed in the conference with help from three other teams on Sunday. If the New England Patriots (12-3), Buffalo Bills (11-4) and Jaguars (11-4) all lose today, the Broncos would secure the AFC's top seed before facing the Chargers in Week 18.
New England, Buffalo and Jacksonville will face the New York Jets (3-12), Philadelphia Eagles (10-5) and Indianapolis Colts (8-7), respectively, so fans in Denver will be rooting for New York, Philly and Indy today.
All three results going the Broncos' way is not mathematically likely, but such a scenario is possible.
Denver will now wait for the NFL to announce the date and time for a Week 18 showdown with L.A. The league will schedule two games for Saturday (Jan. 3), plus a Sunday Night Football matchup (Jan. 4) for the final week of the regular season. An announcement for the Broncos-Chargers game should arrive on Sunday evening. Regardless of what happens in Sunday's games, Denver can clinch the No. 1 seed with a win in Week 18.
