The nine games that would lead the Broncos to a playoff berth

The Broncos’ 17-13 loss to the Raiders severely dented the team’s playoff hopes, as FiveThirtyEight projects the Broncos now have just a 0.1 percent chance of making the playoffs.

For Denver to beat those odds, they’ll need to win their final two games against the Chargers and Chiefs — and get some help in seven other matchups.

Over the next two weeks, the wrong result in any of nine key games would eliminate the Broncos from playoff contention. If the games fall Denver’s way, though, they could make a miracle run to the postseason.

Interestingly, none of the seven results that the Broncos need from other teams’ matchups are particularly far-fetched.

Here’s a look at the nine games that would need to go the Broncos way for them to earn a wild-card spot and make the postseason for the first time since 2015.
