Nix and the Broncos now enter the playoffs with a matchup against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on the horizon. They're set to travel to Highmark Stadium to play the Bills at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday in an AFC Wild Card Game.

The Denver Broncos are playing a must-win game against the Kansas City Chiefs if they want to make the playoffs. Former Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix can lead Denver to the postseason with a win over Kansas City.

"We don’t care who sits, who doesn’t. The Broncos have to show up Sunday and win the game," Courtland Sutton said as the Chiefs announced top players won't play.

The Broncos got the job done. Facing their AFC West rival, the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver took a 38-0 win to conclude the year. The victory put the Broncos (10-7) in the 2024 NFL postseason.

The Kansas City Chiefs had the chance to eliminate the rival Denver Broncos from playoff contention by beating them in Sunday’s Week 18 game, but they chose to sit all of their starters since they had nothing to play for.
