We take a look at the Broncos vs. Titans and why this game has important playoff implications.

Typically, I like to review each NFL game featuring an AFC West team but this week I take a little different approach. While the NFL calendar says that the playoffs don’t start until early January, that is not the case with the Denver Broncos.

As the Broncos enter the final quarter of the season, they unfortunately find themselves in third place in the division and a possible wildcard spot in the January tournament. Basically, the playoffs start today for the Broncos. While the Broncos will need some help to win their sixth consecutive division championship, it will not be possible if they don’t take care of their business and win each remaining game.

The road will be tough and uphill all the way but that is what makes it interesting and great entertainment! That journey starts in Nashville, Tennessee.

Needless to say, but I have already said it, and I will say it again: the Broncos must win this game against the Tennessee Titans. Here are some things to watch for in today’s game – if they all go well, the Broncos should improve to 9-4

Here are some key things to keep an eye on.

Passing, running, and defense. It seems simple but today’s NFL game is a very complex chess match. While I would love to see the Broncos win easily and by large margin today, I don’t think that will be the case. Tennessee finds themselves in the playoff hunt and will no doubt put up a good fight. Marcus Mariota and DeMarco Murray will their stats but they can’t get the win!

Enjoy the game Broncos Country!

Go Broncos – beat the Titans!
