Bitter AFC Raiders losing grip on playoff spot?

The Las Vegas Raiders continue to slide back in the division and currently have less than a one percent chance of making the playoffs, but the rest of the AFC West Division playoff hopes are still alive. But can the Denver Broncos hold on to the final playoff spot?

The Broncos had a rough start to the season, losing the first two games, but managed to reverse their early-year woes to get back to .500 and above. The Broncos’ victory yesterday against the Atlanta Falcons was dominant.

The Broncos have failed to return to the playoffs since winning the Super Bowl in 2015. Since 2015, the team has a record of 52-79 and has not had a winning season in that time. eight-year playoff drought.

Their current record is 6-5 and they sit in seventh place in the playoff picture, but teams are right on their heels.

Today, with a 65% chance of making the playoffs, the Broncos are closely followed by the Indianapolis Colts, whose record is 5-6, and even the Miami Dolphins are trying to get back into the race, winning two consecutive victories. games and finished Week 11 with a 4-6 record.

The Broncos will collide the Raiders in Week 12, facing each other for the second time this 2024-25 season. With the Raiders currently on a six-game losing streak, the Broncos might be able to extend their record to two games above .500 for the second time this season.

Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been outstanding all season. He currently ranks 15th in quarterback passing yards, with 2,275, and had 307 passing yards against the Falcons yesterday. The Broncos are averaging 21.4 points per game, which is last in the AFC playoff standings.

The Broncos, however, have outshot, outshot and outplayed their opponents on average this season, giving them the right to be in the playoff discussion. If the Broncos want to end their eight-year playoff drought, they are in a period of their schedule where they can extend their wins against teams that have struggled this season.

The Raiders will host the Broncos for Week 12.
